White House Staff Assistant in 1971, Assistant Director of the Cost of Living Council from 1971–73, and Deputy Assistant to the president from 1974–1975

------------------
His Fu@ck up Raciest and double stand votes that may explain Iraq
----------------------



Among the many votes he cast during his tenure in the House, he voted in 1979 with the majority against making Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.`s birthday a national holiday, but then voted with the majority in 1983 when the measure passed.[18] He voted against the creation of the U.S. Department of Education, citing his concern over budget deficits and expansion of the federal government, and claiming that the Department was an encroachment on states` rights.[20] He voted against funding Head Start, but reversed his position in 2000.[21](EXPLAINS WHAT HAPPEND TO GW BUSH)
In 1986, after President Ronald Reagan vetoed a bill to impose economic sanctions on South Africa for its policy of apartheid, Cheney was one of 83 Representatives to vote against overriding Reagan`s veto.[22] In later years, he articulated his opposition to unilateral sanctions against many different countries, stating "they almost never work"[23] and that in that case they might have ended up hurting the people instead.[24]
In 1986, Cheney, along with 145 Republicans and 31 Democrats, voted against a non-binding Congressional resolution calling on the South African government to release Nelson Mandela from prison, after the Democrats defeated proposed amendments that would have required Mandela to renounce violence sponsored by the African National Congress (ANC) and requiring it to oust the communist faction from its leadership; the resolution was defeated.
