              Cheney refuses to hand over classified records
Thursday, June 28th, 2007
There is growing anger among Democrats in the US over Vice-President Dick Cheney’s refusal to hand over classified records to the national archives. Mr Cheney had been complying with a presidential order to surrender sensitive papers but then stopped, saying although he works in the White House, he is not part of the executive branch. He argues that he is a member of the legislature because of his dual role as president of the Senate. Democrats are threatening to cut off funding for Mr Cheney’s office and his official residence until he clarifies where he belongs. But White House press secretary Tony Snow dismissed the threats. “There are no specified executive activities for the Vice-President,” he said. “The Vice-President is the president of the Senate. “It is a wonderful academic question and I’m just not going to go any further than we’ve gone.” Have Your Say: Cheney refuses to hand over classified records Please read our posting guidelines before posting.
