House narrowly defeats measure to defund the VP’s office

By a vote of 217-209, the House defeated legislation designed to rebuke Cheney for refusing, over objections by the National Archives, to comply with an executive order that set government-wide procedures for safeguarding classified national security information.
Looks like our friendly libertarian Republican presidential candidate voted for the defunding and against the pay raise. Unfortunately they both failed.
