Cheney doesn't want the presidency.

He has heart problems.

As vice-president he isn't under the stress of the ultimate responsibility. And if he is unavailable at a critical moment, the government can go on.

He may live to be ninety. But why should he - and the country - risk what might happen to him under the rigors of his own presidency?

I suppose you are right.... It just doesn't feel fair.
