I'm surprised the writer doesn't know this basic fact you pointed out.
I guess constitutional knowledge isn't a pre-requisite to writing about things like the vice-presidency

That's just more of the crack NYSlimes reporting there. Wishful thinking that Nixon was impeached - extremely sloppy reporting.
And anyone who advocates replacing Cheney is no Republican.
"REPUBLICANS are urging President George W Bush to dump Dick Cheney as vice-president and replace him with Condoleezza Rice if he is serious about presenting a new face to the jaded American public. "
===
Those are the same Republicans who will vote third party or stay home, letting the Dems win, just because of one issue or another.
Cheney has been invaluable. The ingrate Republicans who want to get rid of Cheney should be ashamed of themselves.
And even thinking strategically, dumping Cheney would be an admission of weakness, signaling to the Dem hyena pack to increase their attacks.
The best defense is an offense. The Bush administration should go on the offense, touting the great economy, the successes in the war on terror and so on, not let the Dems define the agenda.
Republicans should stick together -- we either hang together, or hang separately. Only by unifying, will we be able to hold onto the House and Senate.

Same author that ends with Nixon having been impeached. Tsk-tsk, those pesky credibility issues!
Seems I recall the same kind of blathering from pubbies on the Hill about getting rid of Dan Quayle back when ...
Share your annoyance with the rewriting of history.

I'm not sure what point that makes. I'm a Republican and I voted for Bush, but thank goodness I'll never be in a position where I have to vote for him again.
Bush is an idiot and it shows at all levels of his administration.
Meow.
Yes, I can see how you think that Al Gore or John Kerry would have been soooo much better. (sarcasm)
Bush is and has been a GREAT president. He inherited a recession from Clinton and turned the economy around with the tax cuts, he rose to the occasion, when we were attacked on 9-11, taking the war to the terrorists, so we don't have to fight them on our streets.
Precisely correct.
You know that, I know that, It's a shame Fred is given credit as a conservative pundit/analayst and HE doesn't know that.
"They clearly understood that they could not get the votes - even from their own party members - to force Nixon out of office, nor impeach him if the alternative was going to be Vice President Agnew.
...
Vice President Cheney is an obstacle to impeaching President Bush. The left would have difficulty getting the votes if they thought Dick Cheney would become the President."
Excellent observation!
Hear, hear!
You can only replace a vice president with the speaker of the house.
That is flat out untrue. You may not LIKE that some are considering staying home, but those that are have not advocated tossing Cheney overboard. Anything but.
Read the article. The people urging him to drop them are those like Barnes, that vote Rep no matter what. Establishment Republicans in the Beltway or elected. This IS NOT about regular voting Americans. Spare the agenda.
The dump Cheney for Rice is cover for just plain dumping Cheney.
Then the MSM would repeat that Libby worked for Cheney and Cheney was being dumped not for 2008 election reasons, but because he is guilty of some undeclared criminal offense in the "leaking" of Plame.
Duplicitious stories, that's all. It is a feint to attack Bush and overturn the election!
Nope...I love Condi, but she's somewhat socially liberal. She says she's proudly "an affirmative action baby". We don't need that. I think she's the best Sec State since Shultz, though. I hope she stays there if the GOP nominee gets the job in 08.
I wouldn't suggest dumping Cheney anyway. I think it's absurd to even suggest such a shuffle at that level. Especially this late in the game.
Tom Edmonds?
Has anyone heard of him?
Like I said, thank goodness I'll never be in a position where I have to vote for him again.
If you want to talk about economics, the "inheritance" as you put it, of a recession is neither here nor there because Presidents have very little to do the economic standing of a nation unless they do something to manipulate monetary policy as Clintoon did in preparation fot the Y2K that never materialized.
That being said, Bush has proven that he is definitely not a fiscal Conservative. The US government has grown at levels unseen since FDR and deficit spending has soared through the roof.
I'm glad we're fighting the war overseas instead of here at home, it's just too bad that GW has Vicente Fox so far up his rear that he's turned a blind eye to our southern border.
