DOCUMENTS
One of VP Cheney's aides wrote an explaination as to why Cheney says he is exempt for the Exective order having the Archeives to view how his office handles "secret" documents. Cheney Chief of Staff David S. Addington wrote that the Executive order treats the offices of President and Vice President as agencies of the executive branch. They hold that neither is an agency of the Excutive Branch, they are the offices of the Excutive Branch. The National Archieves and Records Dept has been battling Cheney since 2003. The order was created by President Clinton and amended by President Bush.
