Former Vice President Dick Cheney has died at 84. The hard-charging Republican became one of the most

powerful and polarizing vice presidents in U.S. history, remembered as a leading advocate for the

2003 invasion of Iraq. Over his long career in politics, Cheney served as White House

Chief of Staff, Wyoming's congressman, and Secretary of Defense under

George H.W. Bush, leading U.S. forces during the Persian Gulf War. He later returned to the

White House as vice president under George W. Bush. His family said he died Monday night from

complications of pneumonia and cardiovascular disease, calling him a man who taught
