Exit question: What do you think the founding fathers would have to say about the Vice President of the United States claiming to be independent of the Executive branch? Would they buy the logic (or lack thereof)?

At the 5 minute mark you'll see a 2001 interview on Nightline that tells it all. July 25th 2001---Cheney uses executive privilege to shield himself and the president against his energy task force...Nice catch TDS...
