Vice President Dick Cheney returned to work on Tuesday after an ultrasound exam showed a blood clot in his leg was gradually improving, his office said. "The vice president's doctors advised him to continue the current course of treatment. He has returned to the White House to resume his normal schedule," said Megan McGinn, a spokeswoman for Cheney.[..] The medical examination of Cheney prompted Rep. Dennis Kucinich, an Ohio Democrat running for president, to postpone a news conference where he planned to call for the impeachment of the vice president. His proposal is expected to be a long shot. "Until the vice president's condition is clarified, I am placing any action on hold," Kucinich said in a statement. |
