President Dick Cheney
The Democrats’ worst nightmare will occur this weekend: Dick Cheney will become assume the powers of the presidency. For a little while, at least.
President Bush will undergo a routine colonoscopy Saturday, and will transfer power to Vice President Dick Cheney during the procedure, expected to take about two and a half hours, the chief White House spokesman said.
Cheney was Acting President for a little over two hours back in 2002.
Also, Cheney has been acting President for a little over 6 years, from January 2001 to July 2007.
Perhaps he can put a little more umph into his command to Senator Leahy as President.
