Having your cake and eating it too

emptywheel at The Next Hurrah notes that if the VP is not part of the executive branch, it would be illegal for the White House to share classified information with the VP's office.

Just one more twist on this twisted, convoluted, cockamamie theory of secret, undisclosed niches in the Constitution. As Kissweb said earlier, this is the man who claims "executive privilege" at every turn who is now claiming not to be part of the executive branch.

Talk about having your cake and eating it too. (Although, come to think of it, what good is a cake if you can't eat it?)
