Section 4. The President, Vice President and all civil officers of the United States, shall be removed from office on impeachment for, and conviction of, treason, bribery, or other high crimes and misdemeanors.

Finally- DICK CHENEY WAS NOT THE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES!!!! NO WHERE IN THE CONSTITUTION DOES THE VICE PRESIDENT HAVE ANY POWER WHATSOEVER TO ORDER ANY AGENCY TO DO OR NOT TO DO, TO WITHHOLD OR NOT WITHOLD EVIDENCE. PERIOD END OF THOUGHT. END OF CONSTIUTUTION. You would complain about "activist" courts, but somehow make it ok for a subordinate officer of the Executive to do as he pleased.

Either you follow the Constitution as written, as you claim, or you use it for an excuse for your own right-wing extremist schemes. Which is it?

Are you loyal Americans or just party hacks and conspiratorial traitors? Let Justice go where it is is required to go by the Constitution and the Law, and let the truth settle the issue. Unless of course, you're also saying that the entire justice system of the United States is under some evil control along with the Obama Executive and the Evil Legislative Branch as well.
