VP is Outside the Executive Branch?

As you know I hate to discuss politics but was just wondering about you guys' impression of VP Cheney's latest assertion. He says he does not have to comply with a Presidential Order issued by President Bush simply because Mr. Cheney believes (or says he believes) that the VP's office is not part of the Executive Branch of our government. This just goes to show you how little I understand our government. I thought Cheney was Bush's running mate way back when, and I also thought Dubya was Cheney's boss.

Oh, and of course Cheney tried to abolish the agency that is asking him to share information. Of course.

This "administration" is certainly setting our government up for smooth running in the future, eh? Part of the plan, I suspect. A little anarchy is a good thing, depending on your perspective.
