And as you can see, not only has the president been demoted to a position under the constitution. But the vice-president (as shown by the red arrow) has had his own fourth branch revoked and been reassigned to the executive branch ...
I'm going to take this as really good news. I have hope.

We're having a "healthy" discussion of the assault weapons ban comeback, a violation of 2nd amendment rights. Guess the Constitution can be cherry picked and doesn't really rise above the executive nor legislative branch. I pray the current SCOTUS will save us here.
This is about as useful as the whiteboard diagram in the movie Office Space titled "planning to plan"

You know, I agree with you on most stances and issues related to the Constitution. And I also believe that there should be no gun laws since they only affect law abiding citizens. But this does give me hope that at least Obama understands the structure of the three branches of government and will govern that way. If Congress passes gun laws you don't agree with, then it's up to you to help get that changed. Obama himself cannot pass a law against gun ownership. Laws are written and passed by Congress. So direct your outrage where it belongs until something is signed into law by Obama. I would at least expect you to understand that.

Responding to claims by Vice President Dick Cheney that his office is exempt from disclosing information about what it has classified as secret, Rep. Rahm Emanuel (D-Ill.) said Tuesday he will try to cut off the $4.8 million needed annually to run Cheney’s office and home.
Last week, Cheney claimed he is not bound to disclose some national security requirements because, as president of the Senate, he is not part of the executive branch.
…
Emanuel’s proposal would be attached as an amendment to a spending bill that includes funding of the executive branch and which is expected to be considered by the House as early as Wednesday night. The amendment proposes that no executive funds be used for the vice president’s office, including any money for Cheney’s vice presidential residence.
“He’s not part of the executive branch. We’re not going to fund something that doesn’t exist,” said Emanuel, who is also the House Democratic Caucus chairman. “I’m following through on the vice president’s logic, no matter how ludicrous it might be.”
Like a typical bully, Cheney backed down when challenged.
Emanuel, who has scheduled a vote on Cheney's funding for Thursday, said the change makes it clear that the White House "told Cheney that he would have to come up with another excuse -- that this was not sustainable in the public arena."

Good. Gotta cut off those terrists at their source: the money.
