The next vice president
May 12, 2008
On the morning of Sept. 11, 2001, after planes had crashed into the World Trade
Center and the Pentagon, Vice President Dick Cheney was in the White House
bunker and had to make a momentous recommendation to President Bush, who was in
flight aboard Air Force One: that Bush authorize the military to shoot down any
civilian airliners that might be hijacked and headed for other targets.
Bush concurred—and shortly after, the moment of truth arrived. A military aide
approached Cheney: "There is a plane 80 miles out," he said. "There is a
fighter in the area. Should we engage?" Cheney had thought through the complex
implications of that question, had discussed it with his boss, and didn't
hesitate to answer: "Yes." That plane was United Flight 93, which crashed in
Pennsylvania before fighter jets could reach it.
On most days, the job of the vice president of the United States is not, on its
face, critically important. Aside from breaking tie votes in the Senate, a rare
occurrence, the job is often one of sitting in meetings, cutting ribbons and
attending funerals.
