So that certainly made you part of the executive branch.\ \ \ THE VICE PRESIDENT: Correct.\ \ \ Q: Did you take any presidential actions during that time?\ \ \ THE VICE PRESIDENT: No, I basically wrote a letter to my grandkids.\ \ \ Q: As acting president?\ \ \ THE VICE PRESIDENT: As acting President.\ \ \ Q: What did you say in that letter?\ \ \ THE VICE PRESIDENT: A souvenir for them to have down the road some day.\ \ \ Q: Were you tempted to take any actions during that period?\ \ \ THE VICE PRESIDENT: No, I was not.
