I recently discovered that CBS New/New York Times poll results differ significantly from Gallup’s. http://www.cbsnews.com/htdocs/pdf/Bush_poll_011609.pdf
Therefore, I recommend that the following revision:
REMOVE:
Cheney's early public opinion polls were more favorable than unfavorable, reaching his peak approval rating in the wake of the September 11 attacks at 68 percent.[165] However, polling numbers for both him and the president gradually declined in their second terms,[165][166] with Cheney reaching his lowest point shortly before leaving office at 13 percent.[166][167] Cheney's Gallup poll figures are mostly consistent with those from other polls:[165][168]
• April 2001 – 63% approval, 21% disapproval • January 2002 – 68% approval, 18% disapproval • January 2004 – 56% approval, 36% disapproval • January 2005 – 50% approval, 40% disapproval • January 2006 – 41% approval, 46% disapproval • July 2007 – 30% approval, 60% disapproval • March 2009 – 30% approval, 63% disapproval
REPLACE WITH:
Cheney’s approval numbers have differed among polls.
According to Gallup[165][168], Cheney's early public opinion polls were more favorable than unfavorable, reaching his peak approval rating in the wake of the September 11 attacks at 68 percent.[165] However, polling numbers for both him and the president gradually declined in their second terms,[165][166] with Cheney reaching his lowest point shortly before leaving office at 13 percent.[166][167]
• April 2001 – 63% approval, 21% disapproval • January 2002 – 68% approval, 18% disapproval • January 2004 – 56% approval, 36% disapproval • January 2005 – 50% approval, 40% disapproval • January 2006 – 41% approval, 46% disapproval • July 2007 – 30% approval, 60% disapproval • March 2009 – 30% approval, 63% disapproval
However, CBS News/New York Times found[168]: • March 2001 – 34% favorable, 11% not favorable, 55% undecided/haven’t heard enough • May 2007 – 13% favorable, 39% not favorable, 47% undecided/haven’t heard enough • January 2009 – 13% favorable, 44% not favorable, 42% undecided/haven’t heard enough Consider8 ( talk) 22:17, 17 December 2016 (UTC)

Kuala Lumpur War Crimes Commission (KLWCC): The governance body of the KLWCT was established to oversee and investigate complaints from victims of wars and armed conflict in relation to crimes against peace, war crimes, crimes against humanity and other like offences as recognized under International Law. In November 2011 the tribunal purportedly exercised universal jurisdiction to try in absentia former US President George W. Bush and former British Prime Minister Tony Blair, convicting both for crimes against peace because of what the tribunal concluded was the unlawful invasion of Iraq.[1]
In May 2012 after hearing testimony for a week from victims of torture at Abu Ghraib and Guantanamo, the tribunal unanimously convicted in absentia former President Bush, former Vice President Dick Cheney, former Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld, former Deputy Assistant Attorneys General John Yoo and Jay Bybee, former Attorney General Alberto Gonzales, and former counselors David Addington and William Haynes II of conspiracy to commit war crimes, specifically torture. The tribunal referred their findings to the chief prosecutor at the International Court of Justice in the Hague.[2][3]

@ Visnvoisnvo: also pinging @ Sleyece: and @ CFCF: since both were involved in the previous discussion: Should the position of Acting President be included in the infobox? Cheney held the position for several hours on two occasions: June 29, 2002 and July 21, 2007. It should be noted that never did Cheney actually hold the position of President, he merely assumed the powers and duties of the role while Bush was undergoing surgery. Visnvoisnvo recently added the position in the infobox, noting, "Do not change without discussion. This is an historical event. Check out: https://en.wikisource.org/wiki/Dick_Cheney_Letter_2007-07-21." I have since reverted the changes.

@ Sleyece:, I see that you have again dismissed the objections of others and have unilaterally declared a consensus for adding acting president data to the infobox, which is not appropriate to say the least.

What is with the lazy explanation in the opening summary that ridiculously maintains that Dick Cheney defeated John Edwards in the 2004 election? Vice-Presidents have not run against each other since the early 1800s. While correct in that his ticket won, Cheney was a VP candidate on a larger ballot than himself. Anything else is misleading. The presidential candidate is what most people cast their ballot for in a US Presidential Election. The summary needs to be rephrased to indicate that, otherwise the inadequate contention that Cheney beat Edwards should be removed... Regards... Stevenmitchell ( talk) 19:42, 26 January 2019 (UTC)
The entire section on health problems is a little bit disorganized and doesn't flow well. The most confusing paragraph details issues around a popliteal artery aneurysm, and in the same paragraph talks about having "shortness of breath", then a third unrelated point about having a blood clot that was "smaller" with no initial reference to having a blood clot in the first place. In the following paragraph, it is mentioned how he did indeed have a blood clot that was diagnosed by ultrasound, so the comment on the clot being smaller should be after this line. As a new user I'm not sure how to edit this myself, but leaving suggestions to improve the section on health. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Benvolo ( talk • contribs) 23:36, 30 May 2019 (UTC)
1. There was no operational relationship between Al Qaeda and Saddam: Politifact says Cheney's claim was false [2], and the WaPo fact-checker says Cheney "banged the drum of a possible link, long after the intelligence was discredited." [3]
2. Cheney claimed in 2002 "Simply stated, there is no doubt that Saddam Hussein now has weapons of mass destruction. There is no doubt he is amassing them to use against our friends, against our allies, and against us." [4] No stockpiles of WMDs were ever found. [5]
3. Cheney claimed in the lead-up to the war, "We will in fact, be greeted as liberators… I think it will go relatively quickly… [in] weeks rather than months." [6]
All of this belongs in the lede. Snooganssnoogans ( talk) 11:13, 28 May 2019 (UTC)

A editor is attempting to remove Cheney's attendance at several universities (in the infobox) because he did not obtain degrees there. I am aware of no wiki rule that mandates completion of degrees to place there. Furthermore this is long-standing content that is typical for other bios as well. (See Al Gore's bio for example.) And finally the editor has failed to gain consensus for this change. It has been reverted by both me and Calton. The ONUS is on you (not the other way around.
