“Dick Cheney, widely regarded as the most powerful vice president in American history … died Monday. He was 84. The cause was complications of pneumonia and cardiac and vascular disease, according to a statement from his family. … A consummate Washington insider, Mr. Cheney was an architect and executor of President Bush’s major initiatives: deploying military power to advance the cause of democracy abroad, championing tax cuts and a robust economy at home, and strengthening the powers of a presidency that, as both men saw it, had been unjustifiably restrained by Congress and the courts in the aftermath of the Vietnam War and the Watergate scandal.” (11/04/25)
