US Vice President Dick Cheney on Sunday clashed with his successor over the proper role of his office, suggesting Joseph Biden might "diminish" the importance of the vice presidency.
Cheney's pointed remarks were a contrast to the cordial public tone that has prevailed so far as President George W. Bush prepares to hand over power to president-elect Barack Obama on January 20.
The outgoing vice president, whose term ends in a month, rejected criticism from vice-president-elect Biden who had said during the election campaign that Cheney had overstepped his constitutional role.
I submit, for Mr. Cheney's consideration and examination, The Constitution of the United States of America.
This obscure and misunderstood piece of political text, which has evidently escaped his notice, is pretty clear about the roles of the VPOTUS.
