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)[reply]

RfC: Acting President

@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.

Options

  • A) The position of Acting President is included in the infobox
  • B) The position of Acting President is entirely omitted from the infobox
  • C) While the position is not displayed along with other political offices, a footnote is included in the infobox which notes he acted as President

Survey

  • I support C. MB298 (talk) 01:02, 12 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  • I support A. User:Visnvoisnvo 21:22, 11 May 2017 (EST)
  • Prefer B, possibly C - Frankly DC's role as president for a few hours doesn't seem to be of real consequence when measured against the rest of his biography. As such, I'd call it trivia, and probably something which shouldn't receive any or much mention in the infobox. NickCT (talk) 12:48, 12 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  • I support B. It's just not important enough to clutter the infobox. Dbrote (talk) 15:22, 16 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  • B. A technicality that, while warranted in the article body, isn't sufficiently noteworthy to make it into the infobox. As Dbrote notes, it would be unnecessary clutter. (I am not watching this page, so please ping me if you want my attention.) --Dr. Fleischman (talk) 00:21, 17 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  • B., unless a VP 'stood in' for a significant period (weeks ), this is too trivial even for a footnote. Pincrete (talk) 17:09, 23 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  • B - it's certainly interesting and should be in the article, but unnecessary and confusing for the infobox. Instaurare (talk) 01:01, 24 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  • Prefer B, or at most C, per NickCT. A few hours in an 8 year presidency, because of surgery, doesn't merit mention here. Called by bot. -Darouet (talk) 01:56, 17 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Found guilty of war crimes

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]
