Josh Catone at Raw Story picks up comments made by Rahm Emanuel that Congress will consider cutting funding to the Vice President's office if Cheney and his aides still insist that the VP's office is exempt from the Executive Order requiring all entities within the executive branch to report on the handling of classified information.
""The Vice President has a choice to make. If he believes his legal case, his office has no business being funded as part of the executive branch," said Emanuel in a statement released to RAW STORY. "However, if he demands executive branch funding he cannot ignore executive branch rules. At the very least, the Vice President should be consistent. This amendment will ensure that the Vice President's funding is consistent with his legal arguments.""
