Bush Administration states OVP not part of Executive Branch; wants National Archives abolished
So while I was gone, Vice President Cheney told agency that Vice President's office is not part of the executive branch:
The Office of Vice President Dick Cheney told an agency within the National Archives that for purposes of securing classified information, the Vice President's office is not an 'entity within the executive branch' according to a letter released Thursday by the House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform.
Notwithstanding a little something called Article II Section 1:
The executive power shall be vested in a President of the United States of America. He shall hold his office during the term of four years, and, together with the Vice President, chosen for the same term, be elected, as follows:
Additionally, the Bush Administration wanted to abolish the National Archives as a retaliatory gesture. At least the Information Security Oversight Office is fighting back.
I think the only response to this is both scorn and incredulity. Cheney & the Bush Administration should be the butt of oh so many jokes concerning abolishing the National Archives. You know, the place where a copy of the Constitution is held at.
This is the permanent home of Bush Administration states OVP not part of Executive Branch; wants National Archives abolished. I wrote this post at 11:31 on June 23, 2007.
