It Is Now Time for The Democrats to Impeach Vice Criminal Cheney

    This piece of shit has to go! Now! Most of you know that I am speaking  about the fact that Vice President Cheney has exempted his office from from the Requirements for Protecting Classified Information. this is a presidential order that this crook is pretty much tossing aside and it would lead one to believe that this punk and his lower-level employees have many things to hide from the public.

  Cheney makes the claim that his office is not an "entity within the executive branch."  This is dastardly Dick up to his usual tricks once again. My question is this. If Cheney's office isn't part of the executive branch, then why are the taxpayers footing the bill for his salary, residence, trips and his Secret Service coverage. Tricky Dick needs to be forced to repay his income and all of the other bills that you and I have paid for this punk. He needs to move ( be removed ) from his residence and his limo needs to be parked, permanently. if Cheney is not part of the government, then we shouldn't be paying his sorry ass to be anywhere near the White House. The Congress has to begin impeachment proceedings against Cheney as there is no other choice now.

From the Oversight and Government Reform Committee:

Vice President Exempts His Office from the Requirements for Protecting Classified Information

Washington, D.C. — The Oversight Committee has learned that over the objections of the National Archives, Vice President Cheney exempted his office from the presidential order that establishes government-wide procedures for safeguarding classified national security information. The Vice President asserts that his office is not an “entity within the executive branch.”

As described in a letter from Chairman Waxman to the Vice President, the National Archives protested the Vice President’s position in letters written in June 2006 and August 2006. When these letters were ignored, the National Archives wrote to Attorney General Alberto Gonzales in January 2007 to seek a resolution of the impasse. The Vice President’s staff responded by seeking to abolish the agency within the Archives that is responsible for implementing the President’s executive order.

In his letter to the Vice President, Chairman Waxman writes: “I question both the legality and wisdom of your actions. … [I]t would appear particularly irresponsible to give an office with your history of security breaches an exemption from the safeguards that apply to all other executive branch officials.”

   I would recommend that you read Chairman Waxman's letter to Cheney. It's an educational experience.
