We will have to wait for two years. President Bush is very smart and he is laying the foundation for GOP domination for a number of years.

Cheney will step down for health reasons and Bush will appoint the next President to the VP spot. Of course I better check and make sure thats the way this works. Does he get to pick his VP?

I would be suprised if this happens. Afterall Cheney does not have ego. He would step down for the good of the party and country.

Cheney might step down, but if his health is up to it, why couldn't he stay on as VP in the post-Bush administration? Is there a specific VP term limitation that is independent of the Presidency? What's wrong with Frist/Cheney or Rice/Cheney? Health permitting, I think Cheney would be the best possible choice for VP.
