Step by step:
1. Executive Order gives the House Oversight Committee power to collect certain sensitive information, including from the Executive Branch.
2. Committee requests info from the Office of the Vice President.
3. Cheney's office denies this request. Why? Because the office of the vice president is not an "entity within the executive branch."

The Vice President is not a part of the executive branch? I mean, really? That's the excuse? Now the original letter has not been published, to my knowledge. Surely this was taken out of context, and Senator Waxman misunderstood or misquoted Cheney.
I can't believe that I live in a universe where this kind of crap is possible.
