"Former U.S. vice president Dick Cheney (20012009) has died at the age of 84, his family said in a statement released on Tuesday. Cheney, who served as George W. Bush's number two, was regarded as the chief architect and driving force behind the U.S. war on terror launched after the September 11, 2001 attacks. According to the family, Cheney died from complications related to pneumonia and ongoing heart and vascular problems. He was surrounded by his wife, Lynne, and their daughters, Liz and Mary."
"Considered one of the most powerful vice presidents in U.S. history, Cheney representing the hardline faction of the post-9/11 administration known as the hawks of American foreign policy had in recent years become, paradoxically, a staunch critic of current President Donald Trump. During the campaign leading up to the election that brought the New York magnate to power a year ago, Cheney said he would cast his vote for Democratic candidate Kamala Harris."
