"They" had better be ready for an answer. If Cheney steps down in favor of Rice then the next two years will be filled with stories of how he was forced from office.
Two vice-presidents have resigned in our nation's history, John Calhoun and Spiro Agnew. I don't think Cheney wants to be the third.
Exactly right....there was much speculation and rumour this would happen before the election campaign...didn't happen.
No one has the power to do it..Many have the ability to spread rumors and act like they have power.
The press both the left and right would have a field day even those that are constantly shouting health reasons re Cheney suddenly this would be a non issue and it would all be how he was stabbed in the back etc.
Cheney will remain.
