민주당 상원의원은 어제 국가 안보의 사정을 포함하는 대통령 순서의 단면도에서 면제되었던 그의 사무실 선언을 위한 부통령을 꾸짖었다 딕 체니. 공화당원은, 더 신중하게, 검토가 사정에 의하여 다고 말했다.

논쟁 중 얼마 물자가 에 의하여 분류하고 기밀 취급을 해제하는지 행정부 사무실이에 자료를 제공한다 필요조건은 이다. 저 정보는 국가 기록 보관소에 정보 안전 감독 사무실에 제공될 것이다.

백악관은 Cheney가 제대로 따르고 있다는 것을 쟁탈한다. 그들은 행정부 "기관으로 부통령의 사무실을 대우하기 위하여 대통령 순서가," 예정되지 않으며 그러므로 Cheney의 사무실이 필요조건을 기록에서 면제되다는 것을 말한다.

“The vice president is saying he’s above the law, and the fact of the matter is, legal scholars are going to say this is preposterous,” said Sen. Ron Wyden, an Oregon Democrat.

Sen. Dianne Feinstein of California called Cheney’s move “the height of arrogance.” She said it might not be a bad idea - as some other Democrats have suggested - that money for Cheney’s office be held up until he decides whether or not he’s in the executive branch.

“I find this just amazing,” she said.

Sen. Trent Lott, a Mississippi Republican, countered that conflicts between the White House and Congress over jurisdictional bounds are not unusual.

“Let the courts decide if there’s something wrong here,” he said.

Attorney General Alberto Gonzales was asked in January to resolve the legal dispute, but he has not yet ruled on the issue.

The House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform, led by Rep. Henry Waxman of California is investigating the matter.

“I don’t think that the vice president, with all due respect to everyone, is saying that the law doesn’t apply to him or that he’s above the law,” said Sen. Kay Bailey Hutchison, a Texas Republican. “I think there are some legal interpretations. We have to look at those.”

Wyden and Hutchison spoke on CNN’s “Late Edition.” Feinstein and Lott appeared on “Fox News Sunday.”
