I'm wondering about this question. Is there anything in the constitution that would prompt his removal from office?

1. He'll say it was pre-emptive self-defence
"Well, the guy had a gun..."

2. he is responsible for having thousands of people shot
because he is one of the people responsible for the Iraq war. One more shooting won't make much difference.

3. He can be arrested and indicted, just like anyone else.
The office of the Veep doesn't carry the sort of special immunities that the Presidency does. Just ask Spiro. Book em, Danno.

4. He will resign before that and * will name whoever they want to run in
2008. The notion of 2 incumbents running one against the other is too frightening for them.

Thoughe he had "other priorities" than serving in Vietnam, VP Cheney lays to rest rumors that he is a cowardly dog.
