His office has used this claim to exempt itself from an executive order requiring executive agencies to account for their handling of classified data. Apparently, the president agrees with this self-proclaimed exemption from presidential order (which the president himself renewed and updated).

This is rich stuff.

“Opinions you should have,” a political humor site goes with the idea that Cheney has effectively created a new branch of government. Best line:

The title of the [new] branch of government — and Mr. Cheney’s actual title — is classified.
