How many times did the SecDef tender his resignation? Three, four? "Abrupt," my a$$.
The Globe's editorial staff is a fine collection of richard heads.

I appreciate you mentioning those additional points regarding Cheney. I was unaware of them, and your point is well taken.
I don't know, but it seems the Globe only refers to Cheney when it requires a sinister and brooding figure to color its pre-written storyline.
What is it the Boston Globe, NY Times and others don't get about Dick Cheney being elected, not appointed.
Demoted? You can't demote an elected official. Have you ever read the Constitution?
This paper is about to go belly-up, and I for one cannot wait.
Dick Cheney was largely sidelined first a bit after 9-11, and then after the Iraq war got tough. IMHO this signalled the first mistake and backing down of the Bush administration. Cheney is a knowledgeable savvy tough guy, exactly what the nation needed.
Demote as in replace him with someone else.
They lost one more when I left for Fairfield County, CT 2 years ago.
I have a few friends in NY...on Long Island...and they tell me that the GOP in New York period is long dead....
I could tell that by the elections this last time....I thought Jeanne Pirro was a qualified person to be State Attorney General, but the baby cumo that whines his way thru life won...what actually is he going to do for the State Of New York except what Spiter tells him to do...
I could go on for quite a while but you know just as much about this state as I do....and it isn't getting any better here in Pennsylvania with baby casey jr. whining his way thru with fast eddy telling him what to do....
You don't demote a guy like Dick Cheney.
We elected and then re-elected Cheney, along with President Bush. I don't see any reason we should replace him.
Someone once said the presidency is whatever the president makes it, and I think the same is true of the vice presidency: It is whatever the president makes it. Presidents can't "demote" their vice presidents in the purely technical sense, but they can decide their actual (not just technical) importance. If Cheney is powerful in the Bush Administration, it's because the president wanted it. If the president wanted to make Cheney irrelevant to policy decisions, he could do that too.
Unless he is impeached (God, I hope not), he would have to resign in order to be replaced. I've never met the man, but he strikes me as a guy who wouldn't run from a fight like that.
Not sure what you mean by that he campaigned tirelessly for Republican raising millions of dollars for them. Your comment makes not sense. Just go the the White House website and you will see countless speeches made on behalf of candidates.
You cannot replace an elected official they have to resign - Cheney will not resign
