His daughter is in a heap of trouble as well - she could be impeached
Maybe it was a poor idea to choose a fight with a Marcos

Treat his illness, have a psych check his mind, then put him on the stand.
How many people were shot dead under his direct command?
Many thousands, right? He's feigning illness, and everyone knows it.

for lying about his Iraq WMD-lie war, and go on trial like Duterte.

But if Cheney will repent for his crimes by convincing Trump to go hunting with him, then all is forgiven.

And my favorite weapon of choice for bird hunting with Trump would be the "Old Painless", which can be used to clear the obstructing vegetation if the birds are difficult to see.
