But Dick Cheney stripped president Bush to a mere symbolic endeavor while upgraded his span of control as Vice with the executive power Cheney took from W. Bush before they went in office.
I highly recommend watching the movie Vice which gives a very telling report on these developments.
Some people say Bush behavior after his time in office is very typical for people that experienced severe gaslighting which manifests as a condition similar to Stockholm syndrome.
Bush was installed as President and kept in the dark because Dick Cheney had all foreign policies in his power portfolio.

- ecommerceguy 6y agoI agree Cheney is as evil as they come but for the love of humanity please don't use fiction as reference. Misinformation is already bad enough out there. Movies are for entertainment that deliberately skew history to pull heart strings to get you to watch and more importantly talk about the movie so others will watch it too providing more revenue for the showrunner.
- InitialLastName 6y agoWhile I agree that Cheney was probably more powerful than a normal VP, you really need to keep in mind that the movie Vice is still fictionalized, with its own narrative and interpretation of events to push that may or may not have anything to do with reality. That you call it a "telling report" suggests you might also want to revisit your perspective on Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter.
