This is why the congress is supposed to be equal in power if not more powerful than the executive, and defiantly more powerful than the VP. It is not a simple matter to get rid of the executive nor the VP, however, the congress is much more susceptible to the will of the people than the executive.

If Cheney thinks that he ought not fret over whether or not he is respected by the populus, he needs remedial education in the Constitution and the structure of our government.
