Dick Cheney
Dick Cheney, born Richard Bruce Cheney, held the full powers of the American presidency on the morning of the 29th of June 2002. From 7:09 a.m. to 9:24 a.m., he served as acting president under the 25th Amendment while George W. Bush underwent a colonoscopy. It was a short handover, and the record suggests nothing dramatic happened in those two hours. Still, the moment hints at something larger. For eight years, Cheney stood unusually close to the center of American power, and many observers have called him the most powerful vice president the country has had. How did a young man from the American West end up that close to the presidency? What did he do with that proximity, and why did he leave office as one of the least popular figures in national politics? And what kept him alive, and in public life, through a heart that failed him again and again? The answers run through the Pentagon, an oil services company, two wars in Iraq, and a long argument about how much power the executive branch should hold.
Lincoln, Nebraska, is where Richard Bruce Cheney was born on the 30th of January 1941, the son of Marjorie Lorraine, née Dickey, and Richard Herbert Cheney. His father worked as a soil conservation agent for the U.S. Department of Agriculture. His mother had been a softball star in the 1930s. Cheney was one of three children, and his ancestry was mostly English, with Welsh, Irish, and French Huguenot lines as well. After Calvert Elementary School, the family moved to Casper, Wyoming, where he attended Natrona County High School.
Yale University in New Haven was his next stop, and it went badly. By his own account he struggled to adjust and dropped out. One teacher there, H. Bradford Westerfield, left a lasting mark, and Cheney repeatedly credited him with shaping his approach to foreign policy. After a short stretch at Casper College, Cheney enrolled at the University of Wyoming. He worked as a lineman while earning both a Bachelor of Arts and a Master of Arts in political science. Doctoral work at the University of Wisconsin-Madison followed, with three semesters full-time and one part-time. He finished everything except the dissertation.
In November 1962, at age 21, Cheney was convicted of driving while intoxicated, and he was arrested on the same charge again in 1963. Later he said the arrests made him “think about where I was and where I was headed.” He added, “I was headed down a bad road if I continued on that course.” In 1964, he married Lynne Vincent, his high-school sweetheart.
Vietnam shadowed these years. Cheney applied for and received five draft deferments, a fact that resurfaced in 1989 when The Washington Post writer George C. Wilson interviewed him after his nomination as secretary of defense. Asked about the deferments, Cheney answered, “I had other priorities in the '60s than military service.” At his confirmation hearings he said the deferments let him finish a college career that stretched to six years, because of weak grades and the need to work. The timing of his marriage and family mattered too. The draft expanded on the 26th of October 1965 to include married men without children. Cheney's first child, Elizabeth, was born nine months and two days later. His fifth deferment, a “3-A” hardship category for men with dependents, carried him to the 30th of January 1967, when he turned 26 and aged out.
In 1966, he had left the Wisconsin doctoral program to work as a staff aide for Governor Warren P. Knowles. Two years later, the American Political Science Association awarded him a congressional fellowship, and he moved to Washington, D.C.
In 1969, during the Richard Nixon administration, Cheney began his political career as an intern for Congressman William A. Steiger. He soon joined the staff of Donald Rumsfeld, who then directed the Office of Economic Opportunity. Over the next few years Cheney collected titles: White House staff assistant in 1971, assistant director of the Cost of Living Council from 1971 to 1973, and deputy assistant to the president from 1974 to 1975.
One memo from that period shows the work of a White House operator. Seymour Hersh of The New York Times had reported that U.S. Navy submarines tapped Soviet undersea communications in a classified program called Operation Ivy Bells. Writing to Rumsfeld, Cheney laid out options for limiting the damage to the Ford administration, including using the U.S. Justice Department.
December 1974 brought Cheney a new post under Gerald Ford, as assistant to the president and deputy chief of staff. In November 1975, Rumsfeld was named Secretary of Defense, and Cheney succeeded him as White House chief of staff. He then managed Ford's 1976 presidential campaign.
Cheney's own name first went on a ballot in 1978, when Wyoming voters elected him to the U.S. House of Representatives. He succeeded the retiring Democrat Teno Roncalio and defeated another Democrat, Bill Bagley. Cheney won re-election five times and stayed until 1989. Congressman Barber Conable talked him into joining the moderate Republican Wednesday Group, a step meant to help him climb the leadership ladder. From 1981 to 1987 Cheney chaired the Republican Policy Committee. He also served as the ranking member of the select committee investigating the Iran-Contra Affair, and he promoted Wyoming's petroleum and coal businesses.
His voting record shows a conservative whose positions sometimes shifted. Cheney voted against creating the Department of Education, citing budget deficits and states' rights. He voted against funding Head Start, then reversed that position in 2000. He opposed a Martin Luther King Jr. holiday in 1978 and supported it five years later, in 1983. In April 1980, he endorsed Ronald Reagan, becoming one of Reagan's earliest backers.
Two votes in 1986 drew lasting attention. Cheney was one of 83 Representatives who voted against overriding Reagan's veto of the Comprehensive Anti-Apartheid Act. That same year, he voted against a non-binding resolution calling on South Africa to release Nelson Mandela. Explaining himself on CNN, he said that “the ANC was then viewed as a terrorist organization.”
In 1987, colleagues elected Cheney Chairman of the House Republican Conference, and the next year they chose him House minority whip. The whip's post lasted only two and a half months. When the Senate rejected John G. Tower's nomination as Secretary of Defense in March 1989, the vacancy drew Cheney away from the House.
A Senate vote of 92 to 0 confirmed Cheney as Secretary of Defense, a post he held from March 1989 to January 1993. In 1991, President Bush awarded him the Presidential Medal of Freedom, and the Jefferson Awards gave him the John Heinz Award for greatest public service. Cheney later called the Pentagon the most rewarding stretch of his public life, “the one that stands out.” In 2014 he recalled walking into the private residence to accept the job and passing a painting called The Peacemakers, showing Lincoln, Grant, and William Tecumseh Sherman. His great-grandfather had served under Sherman throughout the Civil War, and Cheney wondered what the old soldier would have made of it.
His first big fight was the budget. After the Reagan peacetime buildup, Cheney judged it right to cut. He reviewed requests for such expensive programs as the Avenger II attack aircraft, the B-2 stealth bomber, the V-22 Osprey, the Aegis destroyer, and the MX missile, worth about $4.5 billion in all. He opposed the V-22, though Congress had already funded it, and at first refused to issue contracts before relenting. In early 1991, he unveiled a plan to shrink the force to 1.6 million, down from 2.2 million when he arrived. By 1993, the department's total obligational authority had fallen from $291 billion to $270 billion, and personnel strength had dropped 19 percent to about 1.8 million. Even so, he directed a Pentagon plan to keep American military dominance secure in the post-Cold War era.
On the world stage, Cheney worried that Iraq, Iran, and North Korea might acquire nuclear components after the Soviet Union collapsed in 1991. He wanted NATO to remain the foundation of European security and urged it to help the new democracies of Eastern Europe. He also thought the Bush administration was too optimistic about Mikhail Gorbachev and his successor Boris Yeltsin. By one account, he wanted the Soviet Union broken up and Russia itself as well. He also persuaded Saudi Arabia to host American ground troops and warplanes. That decision helped win the Gulf War, and it became a lightning rod for Islamists such as Osama bin Laden, who objected to non-Muslim armies near their holy sites.
Panama came first. In May 1989, General Manuel Antonio Noriega nullified the election of Guillermo Endara as president, and in October he suppressed a military coup. In December, after Panamanian soldiers killed a U.S. serviceman, the invasion began under Cheney's direction. U.S. forces gained control, Endara took office, and Noriega was convicted of racketeering and drug trafficking in April 1992. In August 1992, Cheney dispatched the first of 26,000 troops to Somalia for the Unified Task Force, which was meant to provide security and food relief.
The defining crisis began on the 1st of August 1990, when Saddam Hussein sent forces into Kuwait. An estimated 140,000 Iraqi troops took Kuwait City and moved toward the Saudi border. Cheney and General Norman Schwarzkopf oversaw planning. General Colin Powell remembered Cheney as “a glutton for information,” spending hours in the National Military Command Center “peppering my staff with questions.” King Fahd asked for American help during Cheney's first visit to Saudi Arabia. The UN Security Council authorized “all means necessary” and set a deadline of the 15th of January 1991. By then the U.S. had a force of about 500,000 in Saudi Arabia and the Persian Gulf, backed by Britain, Canada, France, Italy, Syria, and Egypt. Germany and Japan agreed to provide financial support. Congress authorized force on the 12th of January 1991.
Operation Desert Storm opened on the 17th of January 1991 with an air campaign that lasted more than five weeks. The ground war began on the 24th of February, and within 100 hours Iraqi forces were routed. On the 27th of February, Schwarzkopf reported the basic objective met, and Bush suspended hostilities. A total of 147 U.S. military personnel died in combat, and another 236 died in accidents or other causes. Iraq accepted a formal truce on the 3rd of March and a permanent cease-fire on the 6th of April. Cheney praised that national security team as the best he had seen, with the least friction and the highest trust.
No question from the war lingered longer than why the coalition stopped short of Baghdad. In an interview with C-SPAN on the 15th of April 1994, Cheney called going on a “bad idea” that would have led to a “quagmire.” None of the Arab partners would have joined an invasion of Iraq, and an occupation would have left the United States alone. Taking down the central government, he warned, might let Iraq break apart, with Syria, Iran, and the Kurds each pulling at pieces. He also put the human cost bluntly: “how many additional dead Americans is Saddam worth? Our judgment was, not very many, and I think we got it right.” Looking ahead, he predicted that the Middle East would never allow tidy endings. “It never has, and isn't likely to in my lifetime,” he said.
January 1993 brought a Democratic administration under Bill Clinton, and Cheney moved to the American Enterprise Institute. He had served on the Council on Foreign Relations board from 1987 to 1989 and returned for a second term from 1993 to 1995. Then, on the 1st of October 1995, he became chairman and chief executive of Halliburton, a Fortune 500 company, a job he held until the 25th of July 2000.
Wall Street analysts disputed his record there. A 1998 merger with Dresser Industries drew criticism from some Dresser executives, who pointed to Halliburton's lack of accounting transparency. Shareholders filed a class-action lawsuit alleging that the company inflated its stock price, though Cheney was not named as a defendant. In June 2011, the Supreme Court reversed a lower-court ruling and let the case continue. A December 2010 corruption complaint from the Nigerian government named him, and Halliburton settled it for $250 million. During his tenure, the company also changed how it counted revenue from disputed costs on large construction projects.
The job made him wealthy. His net worth was estimated at between $19 million and $86 million in 2003, largely from Halliburton. He earned $36 million in 2000, mostly from a severance payment. Even in 2006, his joint income with his wife Lynne reached nearly $8.82 million, mostly from exercising Halliburton stock options.
Early in 2000, George W. Bush, then governor of Texas, put Cheney in charge of his vice-presidential search committee. After reviewing Cheney's findings, Bush asked Cheney himself to join the ticket on the 25th of July, a choice that surprised some pundits. A New York Times article published on the 28th of July 2000 reported that the decision had actually been made weeks earlier. Halliburton had reportedly agreed on the 20th of July to let Cheney retire with a package of roughly $20 million. Cheney resigned as chief executive on the same day Bush announced him.
A clause in the Twelfth Amendment forced one more change. It bars electors from voting for two candidates who live in their own state, so Cheney listed his Dallas home for sale. He also switched his driver's license and voter registration back to Wyoming. Then came the stalemate after the election. The Bush-Cheney team could not draw public funds for a transition, so Cheney opened a privately funded transition office in Washington to line up cabinet candidates. According to Craig Unger, Cheney pushed Donald Rumsfeld for Defense to offset Colin Powell's influence at State. He also tried, unsuccessfully, to place Paul Wolfowitz in George Tenet's job at the CIA.
After the attacks of September 11, Cheney kept physically apart from Bush for security reasons. He moved among undisclosed locations, which he later revealed in his memoir In My Time included his official residence, his home in Wyoming, and Camp David. A motorcade of 12 to 18 government vehicles carried him each day from Number One Observatory Circle to the White House.
President Bush received a classified President's Daily Brief on the 21st of September 2001. It said the intelligence community had no evidence linking Saddam Hussein to the attacks and that “there was scant credible evidence that Iraq had any significant collaborative ties with Al Qaeda.” Cheney nonetheless became instrumental in building the justification for war against Iraq. He made many public statements alleging that Iraq possessed weapons of mass destruction, and he repeatedly alleged ties between Saddam and al-Qaeda. He also visited CIA headquarters in person and questioned mid-level analysts about their conclusions. Neither claim was ever substantiated. In 2004, the 9/11 Commission found no “collaborative relationship” between Iraq and al-Qaeda, yet by 2014 Cheney was still saying Saddam “had a 10-year relationship with al Qaeda.”
When the invasion came, Cheney predicted an “enormous success story” and visited Iraq many times. He called critics “opportunists” peddling “cynical and pernicious falsehoods” for political gain. Senator John Kerry answered, “It is hard to name a government official with less credibility on Iraq than Cheney.” On the 19th of March 2008, the fifth anniversary of the assault, ABC News correspondent Martha Raddatz interviewed him in Ankara, Turkey. She noted that polls showed Americans had lost confidence in the war, and Cheney replied simply, “So?” The reaction was harsh, even from Mickey Edwards, a former Oklahoma Republican congressman and longtime friend.
A separate scandal reached Cheney's own office. On the 18th of October 2005, The Washington Post reported that the Valerie Plame CIA leak investigation centered on the vice president's staff. His chief of staff, I. Lewis “Scooter” Libby, was among those under investigation and resigned after an indictment later that month. In February 2006, The National Journal reported that Libby had told a grand jury that his superiors, including Cheney, authorized him to disclose classified information about Iraq's weapons. That September, former deputy secretary of state Richard Armitage announced he had been the source of Plame's identity. On the 6th of March 2007, Libby was convicted on four felony counts of obstruction of justice, perjury, and false statements. Prosecutor Patrick Fitzgerald spoke of “a cloud over the vice president.” Cheney lobbied Bush hard for a full pardon, likening Libby to a “soldier on the battlefield.” He failed. President Donald Trump pardoned Libby in April 2018.
On the 27th of February 2007, a suicide bomber killed 23 people and wounded 20 more outside Bagram Airfield in Afghanistan during Cheney's visit. The Taliban claimed the attack, said Cheney was the intended target, and said Osama bin Laden had supervised it. Cheney was inside the base, half a mile away, and recalled hearing “a loud boom.” His trip had been meant to press Pakistan for a united front against the Taliban.
Speaker of the House Dennis Hastert once gave Cheney an office near the House floor, which sat on top of his West Wing office, his ceremonial office in the Old Executive Office Building, and two Senate offices. The collection of workspaces reflected a vice president who did far more than preside over the Senate.
Cheney argued openly for a stronger presidency. He described the administration's challenges to the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act, the Presidential Records Act, the Freedom of Information Act, and the War Powers Resolution as “a restoration, if you will, of the power and authority of the president.” He was a proponent of the unitary executive theory. When former vice president Dan Quayle suggested the job was largely ceremonial, Cheney reportedly replied, “I have a different understanding with the president.”
In June 2007, The Washington Post published a Pulitzer Prize-winning four-part series, principally written by Barton Gellman. It portrayed Cheney not as a shadow president but as a figure who usually had the last word of counsel before Bush decided. The series described a secretive man who used his own security classification and kept three man-sized safes in his offices. It traced his influence over the detention and questioning of suspected terrorists. Colonel Lawrence Wilkerson, who had been Colin Powell's chief of staff, said Cheney and Rumsfeld set up an alternative interrogation program because they distrusted the CIA. On the 14th of February 2010, Cheney told ABC's This Week, “I was and remain a strong proponent of our enhanced interrogation program.”
The same reporting credited Cheney with the strongest hand on budget and tax policy, aimed at keeping what the series called conservative orthodoxy. It also highlighted his role in easing pollution controls for power plants, easing nuclear waste disposal, opening federal timber, and avoiding limits on greenhouse gases. In July 2008, a former Environmental Protection Agency official said Cheney's office had pushed for deep cuts to a Centers for Disease Control and Prevention report on the health effects of global warming. The report appeared with six pages cut. The White House cited concerns about scientific accuracy. A former senior climate adviser at the EPA said Cheney's office was directly responsible for nearly half the original testimony being removed. In June 2008, Cheney allegedly tried to block Condoleezza Rice's compromise deal with North Korea over its nuclear program. As president of the Senate, he even broke with Bush's Justice Department by signing an amicus brief in Heller v. District of Columbia, which successfully challenged the capital's gun laws on Second Amendment grounds.
Secrecy drew the sharpest fire. Cheney sat on the National Energy Policy Development Group, known as the Energy Task Force, whose members included several Enron executives. After the Enron scandal, critics accused the administration of improper ties. In July 2003, the Supreme Court ruled that the Department of Commerce must disclose task-force documents referring to companies that had agreements with Iraq's previous government to extract its petroleum. From 2003, Cheney's staff declined to file required reports with the National Archives office responsible for protecting classified information. Time magazine and CBS News asked whether he had created a “fourth branch of government.” A group of historians and open-government advocates sued to have his records covered by the Presidential Records Act of 1978.
His public standing told its own story. Approval peaked at 68 percent just after September 11 and sank to 13 percent shortly before he left office. In April 2007, Brigham Young University gave him an honorary doctorate and a commencement speech, which drew protest. Trustees said the invitation honored the office rather than a partisan figure. After his death, The New York Times called him President Bush's “most influential White House adviser in an era of terrorism, war and economic change.” USA Today named him “chief architect of the war in Iraq,” and the BBC called him “the ultimate Washington insider.” Le Monde called him the “father” of the invasion. Some officials and advocacy groups called for his prosecution after he acknowledged signing off on enhanced interrogation techniques. George H. W. Bush, as quoted in Jon Meacham's biography, described him as having “his own empire” and being “very hard-line.”
Popular culture took notice. Christian Bale won a Golden Globe for playing him in Vice, directed by Adam McKay. Richard Dreyfuss played him in Oliver Stone's W., and Eminem name-checked Cheney's wife in “Without Me.” Critics also compared Cheney to Darth Vader. He later adopted the label himself, along with his family and staff.
The 18th of June 1978 brought Cheney's first heart attack, at age 37. He had smoked roughly three packs of cigarettes a day for nearly 20 years. Four more heart attacks followed, in 1984, 1988, 2000, and 2010. A four-vessel bypass came in 1988. After that he had a coronary stent in November 2000, an urgent balloon angioplasty in March 2001, and an implanted defibrillator in June 2001.
His troubles continued in office. On the 24th of September 2005, doctors spent six hours repairing aneurysms behind both knees. On the 5th of March 2007, he was treated for deep vein thrombosis in his left leg. In November 2007, he was diagnosed with atrial fibrillation. A strained back left him in a wheelchair for two days around the 2009 inauguration.
The gravest stage came in early July 2010, when surgeons at Inova Fairfax Heart and Vascular Institute fitted him with a left-ventricular assist device for worsening heart failure. The continuous-flow pump kept him alive without a pulse for nearly 15 months. On the 24th of March 2012, he underwent a seven-hour heart transplant at Inova Fairfax Hospital. He had waited more than 20 months for a donor heart. His cardiologist, Jonathan Reiner, said it would not be unreasonable for an otherwise healthy 71-year-old to expect another ten years. The two later wrote Heart, published by Simon & Schuster in 2013.
Outdoor life added its own drama. On the 11th of February 2006, Cheney accidentally shot Harry Whittington, then 78, during a quail hunt at the Armstrong ranch in Kenedy County, Texas. Whittington took birdshot wounds to the cheek, neck, and chest, and a helicopter carried him to Corpus Christi Memorial Hospital. The incident hurt Cheney's popularity, and two weeks later his approval stood at 18 percent. Fishing was a calmer passion. Cheney fished the Snake River, his Secret Service code name was “Angler,” and he kept a library of about a hundred books on the sport. His boatmate Dick Scarlett said, “Dick can place a fly on a saucer at 40 feet.”
Politics kept pulling him back in. In May 2009, Cheney told the National Press Club that people should be free to enter any kind of union they wish, though he held that marriage was a matter for the states. His daughter Mary, who lives with her wife Heather Poe, had been in the spotlight on this issue. In July 2012, he hosted a Romney fundraiser at his Wyoming home that raised over $4 million. In August 2011 came his memoir In My Time, written with his daughter Liz, and in 2015 they co-authored Exceptional: Why the World Needs a Powerful America.
His relationship with the Republican Party changed in the Trump years. He endorsed Donald Trump in May 2016, and that November Liz won his old House seat. By March 2019, at an American Enterprise Institute forum beside Mike Pence, he was questioning Trump's commitment to NATO. After the January 6 attack on the Capitol, he joined Liz at the first anniversary events. In a 2022 campaign ad, he called Trump a “coward” and a “threat to our republic.” Liz then lost her primary to Harriet Hageman by over 30 percent. On the 6th of September 2024, Cheney announced he would vote for Kamala Harris, writing that there had never been “an individual who is a greater threat to our republic than Donald Trump.”
Cheney died at his home in McLean, Virginia, on the evening of the 3rd of November 2025, at age 84, from complications of pneumonia and vascular disease. George W. Bush praised him as “among the finest public servants of his generation.” Clinton, Obama, and Biden also issued statements. Trump issued none, and his press secretary said only that Trump was “aware” of the death. The funeral took place on the 20th of November at Washington National Cathedral, only the second vice-presidential funeral held there. Eulogies came from Liz, three of his grandchildren, Bush, former NBC News correspondent Pete Williams, and Reiner. Cathedral dean Randolph Hollerith delivered the homily.
