Is Dick Cheney above the law?

Hell, no he is not above the law!

Furthermore he is answerable to the people who elected him. If he is not a part of the executive, he should relinquish his office in the White House Complex and find his own housing, as well.

Is Dick Cheney above the law? | Capitol Hill Blue:

House Democrats on Thursday denounced Vice President Dick Cheney's idea of abolishing a government office charged with safeguarding national security information — and criticized him for refusing to cooperate with the agency.

Cheney's office — over the objections of the National Archives — has exempted itself from a presidential executive order that seeks to protect national security information generated by the government, according to the House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform.

Under the order, executive branch offices are required to give the Information Security Oversight Office at the archives data on how much material it has classified and declassified.
