Maybe Biden should understand that it's Article II of the Constitution. . . .duh! |
Cheney has said that his position is unique. He says he's part of the legislative branch and part of the executive branch. He has asserted that he is not answerable to anyone because his position is so unique. In other words, he claims to be above the law and not answerable for any of the crimes that he has committed.
No vice president has declared himself above the law before.
