Vice President Dick Cheney in particular believes that presidential power has been unreasonably confined since the 1970s. Although he served as a Congressman from Wyoming from 1978 to 1989, it's the Executive Branch that holds Cheney's heart. As White House chief of staff for Gerald Ford from 1975 to 1977, he saw up close how Ford's powers were repeatedly reined in by a newly invigorated Congress determined to refuse Nixon's notions of Oval Office prerogative...
