Cheney “reinvented” nothing. He did make his position a powerful one, something most VPs have never done, but his “reinvention” is chimerical because fit is entirely dependent upon a president who will stick with the plan! So, in the end, Cheney has only engineered his own position and not changed the VP position one iota... unless the next president does the same with his own VP. And that is exceedingly unlikely.
VP Cheney is a great American. I am proud of his antithetic backbone. Praying for your health and your strength Mr Vice President!
