Maybe Ford wanted control of Reagan's foreign policy so he could prove once and for all - Poland was indeed free.

Interesting how concerned McCain is about the constitutionality of the Veep also being SecDef -- after co-authoring, and championing for years, a major hit on the First Amendment.

Jeff: Yeah, Ford wanted a lot although I can't recall exactly what portfolios he wanted. Reagan was't doing the offering though--he was being asked and turned it down.

DCL: Well, no. Cheney is certainly a major advisor of foreign policy but Rumsfeld runs Defense. And Bush rather clearly makes the ultimate decisions, as Cheney and Rummy have been overruled many a time in favor of Powell.

Something similar was what Gerald Ford reportedly wanted to accept Reagan's offer of VP candidate in '80 of I remember correctly.
