[QUOTE]Originally posted by Omega: [QB] [i]Reagan's physician at the time stated that the Twenty-Fifth Ammendment should have been invoked to transfer presidential powers temporarily to VP Bush which Reagan was under general anesthesia and recovering from surgery.[/i] WHICH IT WAS! We've been through this before, Jeff. Get it straight: Bush acted as president as provided for in the twenty-fifth ammendment after Reagan was shot. Heck, it was in the frikin' WORLD BOOK, last I checked! Do you do ANY research for yourself, or do you just accept what you're told? [i]Sure, until George W. Bush gets assassinated, or something like that, because then Cheney becomes President.[/i] And the odds of this happening are infinitesimal. You may as well worry that someone's gonna try and blow up a joint session of congress. [i]If Bush got shot, and Cheney was in the hospital with a heart attack[/i] Cheney has not been in the hospital for a heart problem for so much as a week since his... what was it, triple bypass a decade or so back? You have no reason to think he will need to be. [i]Why am I arguing for Dick Cheney's health here?[/i] Good question, considering that his doctors don't seem to see any need for him to even reduce his workload, much less cut it all together. I trust their opinion more than yours, Jeff. [i]Bush's campaign lied about Cheney's health, including getting doctors (who had never examined Cheney) to say he was in good health, forcing Cheney's actual doctors to make press releases saying they had never said that.[/i] And you have evidence of this, I presume? [i]Dick Cheney is in bad health.[/i] Not according to his doctors. [i]Republicans want to defend his right to stay in office and suffer the health related consequences.[/i] His doctors don't seem to think that there would be any. Besides, he DOES have the right to stay in office and suffer any possible health-related consequences, be they heart attacks, bullets, or bombs. [i]Others would like Mr. Cheney to resign so that he might have a better chance of living a full and long life.[/i] You base this on...? Look, if the man thought that his health was in danger, or that his supposed lack thereof would keep him from doing his job, he'd resign. Remember, he's not in it for power, like recent occupants. He's there to do the job. If he couldn't, there'd be no reason for him to be there, and he'd leave. [/QB][/QUOTE]
