Dick Cheney has been diagnosed with a blood clot in his left leg, leading to speculation he will be forced to resign as U.S. Vice-President.
The 66-year-old has a history of major health problems, including four heart attacks, and has undergone quadruple-bypass surgery.
He is a driving force in both the war in Iraq and the 'war on terror' and his resignation would be a huge loss to George Bush.
The vice-president is the leader of Washington's neo-conservatives and is believed to be a dominant influence on Mr Bush's military and foreign policies.

I do remember that when Bush was running for Prez in 2000, before he named Cheney as his running mate, Sean Hannity was promoting Jeb Bush to be W's running mate.
Have at it! Just call me a faggot in all caps or something rofl. ;^)
Being that it pertains to the President's Cabinet, I'm sure that it's some obscure law that only afew know about.
"... makes the govt more vulnerable ..."
Nah .. it says .. "majority vote". But .. don't worry - the dems will make it all as tiresome as possible - as usual.
Sean doesn't always get things right and I don't remember Sean saying that Jeb should be "W"'s VEEP.
I postulated this scenario about a month ago. I think this one below was my first time suggesting it.
GOP's conservatives strain for leadership

of all the things president bush has done to unravel the gop, the worst is to abdicate his responsibility for succession
***Why doesn't he ask Cheney to resign for health reasons? He certainly has had enough heart attacks. His next choice for VP would be the heir apparent.
LOL.....bait and flame me till the cows come home; I'm not falling for it.
Still rooting for McCain .. are we ..??
It's NOT obscure at all and anyone posting to FR should know about it!
I am well grounded in history and logic. You just need to simma' down.
I don't get your post. Replacing a VP requires a majority vote in both houses.
Something to help you get a good nights sleep - she's Third in line to the Presidency...its in the Constitution!!
Really second...after Bush its cheney and then the Majority Leader of the House....Nancy Baby.
The president, however, did ask Thompson to guide John Roberts through the Senate confirmation process.
What's to get! You're correct!
But .. Cheney hasn't resigned yet so I'm not going to worry about it right now.
The obvious choice to me is......Lynne Cheney....
I agree that if Fred Thompson hadn't gotten so fed up with Washington he'd have made a formidable candidate...would love to see him debate Hillary... a "presidential" countenance vs the Shrillary...wouldn't be close.
Thankfully he hasn't, and all of this talk is just MSM generated.
Nobody would know that, from your posts.
Yeah, they're salivating at the thought of gaining power without HAVING TO DEAL WITH AN ELECTION!!
Their fantasy come true!!
