this huffington blog post includes a bill of particulars against the vp from former reagan justice dept official bruce fein taken from the june 27 slate: Impeach Cheney: The Vice President has Run Utterly Amok and Must Be Stopped, which includes this fragment:
Take the vice president's preposterous theory that his office is outside the executive branch because it also exercises a legislative function. The same can be said of the president, who also exercises a legislative function in signing or vetoing bills passed by Congress. Under Cheney's bizarre reasoning, President Bush is not part of his own administration: The executive branch becomes acephalous.
actually, more than a few of us already suspect the executive branch has become acephalous. [ok, ok, i admit i had to look it up.]
