Cheney DID NOT say he is No Longer a Member of the Executive Branch: The Real Story is Much Worse

Daily Kos: Cheney DID NOT say he is No Longer a Member of the Executive Branch: The Real Story is Much Worse:

The story is making its way around the internet that Cheney has said he is not a part of the executive branch. Hard as it is to believe, the real story is much worse. His office is quoted as saying that because he is a member of the both executive and the legislative branches, he is therefore not required to reply to a request by the National Archives for it comply with record keeping laws regarding the executive branch. The quote from the letter in question is '...the OVB spokesperson indicated, 'This has been reviewed and it's been determined that the reporting requirement does not apply to The Office of the Vice President, which has both legislative and executive functions.''
