Editor's Take:

Cheney's career arc traces an extraordinary concentration of executive power. From Ford's White House through Pentagon leadership to an unprecedented vice presidency, he operated at the highest levels for four decades. The Iraq War defined his legacy: he championed invasion based on intelligence claims later proven false. His approval collapsed from 68% post-September 11th to a mere 13% by term's end. The final chapter proved startling: a lifelong Republican who backed Trump twice reversed course after January 6th, crossing party lines in 2024. His transformation from party stalwart to Democratic endorser underscored the rupture Trump created within conservative ranks.

1975: Became youngest White House chief of staff
