Sure its absurd, the number 2 man to the President doesn't have to answer to the Presidents orders as ordered by the President. That couldn't be more absurd if it was written by the Monty Python troop. It is in fact absolutely ludicrous.
The White House and the Bush Administration are lampooning the American People, the press and thumbing their nose at the lot of us with insane machinations of logic loops that only serve to create gridlock and distrust in government. Cheney and Bush should be impeached on principle for trying to institute a strange loop as policy.
Conservatives need to pay attention because they sure won't like it if VP Obama gets to do what ever he wants to do under a Clinton Presidency. A Vice President not bound by the legislative branch and not bound by the Executive branch and not bound by the Judicial branch is definitely not a concept that is good for the United States. Our founding fathers are definitely flipping in their graves right now.
White House spokeswoman Dana Perino said Cheney is not obligated to submit to oversight by an office that safeguards classified information, as other members and parts of the executive branch are. Cheney's office has contended that it does not have to comply because the vice president serves as president of the Senate, which means that his office is not an "entity within the executive branch."

People that take a tour of the White House in the future will need to stop and pay attention to a newly installed house marker at the front gate, that will state, "Reality stopped here in 2001 when George W Bush and Dick Cheney were sworn into the offices formerly known as President and Vice President respectively and now known as the offices of Dictator 1 and Dictator 2."
