Spiro Theodore Agnew (November 9, 1918 – September 17, 1996), born Spiros Anagnostopoulos in Towson, Maryland, was the thirty-ninth Vice President of the United States, serving from 1969 to 1973 under President Richard M. Nixon. He is most famous for his resignation in 1973 following evidence of tax evasion. Agnew was also the 55th governor of the state of Maryland from 1967 to 1969.

I was going to say that Traitor may be too strong of a word for this however, after thinking about it Ive changed my mind.  As a former Vice President one would hope he would have had a little more respect for America, the administration and our armed services.  In times of war the last thing we need is a former VP giving the enemy ammo to use against us or fanning the fire.  This could lead to added hostility and attacks on US troops.  If that is the case we have Al Gore to blame.

It's against the law to shoot the President, but you can get shot by the vice president with no legal issues what-so-ever.

My understanding is that it is not illegal to accidentally shoot someone while hunting.  If that is correct, then the answer is never.\n\nAccording to CNN, Cheney has been officially cleared and the shooting was ruled a hunting accident.

if the president were killed, the vice prez would be sworn as prez. and the speaker would be vice prez. and a speaker would be appointed. if the vice prez and prez were killed, then the speaker of the house would be prez.and the vice prez and speaker would be appointed. if the speaker of the house was killed, then the prez would appoint the speaker of the house. the vice prez would most likely take the speakers job  temporarily until then.

Because he wasn't paying full and complete attention to his surroundings, as a hunter (or anyone discharging a firearm) should.\n\nADDITION (to respond to some other comments): \nI'm not aware of anyone who is seriously suggesting that he shot his friend intentionally.  However, saying it was an accident does not mean that there was nothing that could have been done to prevent it.  The NRA's safe hunting rules state: \n\n"Know your target and what is beyond.  Be absolutely sure you have identified your target beyond any doubt. Equally important, be aware of the area beyond your target. This means observing your prospective area of fire before you shoot. Never fire in a direction in which there are people or any other potential for mishap. Think first. Shoot second."\n\nThis is a rule that was not followed by Cheney. While it was indeed an accident, it was one caused by carelessness on the part of both Cheney and Whittington.

No, Dick Cheney got in serious trouble this year for leaking the name of a CIA agent. So basically the answer is; if the vice president can't get away with it than nobody else can.

George W. Bush. I can guarantee that as soon as some Senators start to file impeachment proceedings and assasins start to load their guns, the TV comes on and they realize that Dick Cheney is second in line. The papers and guns go back in their cases. Cheney will keep Bush President as long as he stays around.\n\nUnless he chokes on another pretzel.
