same time? If not, who takes over that one?

And just like they are famous for screwing us over with recess appointments and such, is there anything that could be done during this time?

4. He wasn't a part of the Executive when he was VP

Now that he's (temporarily) the P, he is the Executive.

See the cat See the cradle?

I'd like to see Tony Snowjob answer that one.

6. Wait a minute. If Cheney isn't a part of the executive branch, how can he be acting president?

11. except he didn't say that

despite it being repeated here a million times.

He said his office was not an "agency" of the executive branch for the purposes of a particular executive order.
