Cheney, who served under President George W. Bush, died on November 3 at age 84. His funeral drew two former presidents, all living ex\u2013vice presidents, and many senior officials \u2014 but President Donald Trump and Vice President JD Vance were notably absent.<\/p>\n<p>A source confirmed that Trump and Vance were not invited. While sitting presidents typically attend funerals for former national leaders, this service was invitation-only. Trump had an intelligence briefing scheduled at the same time and issued no public condolences, though the White House ordered flags lowered to half-staff. Vance, however, praised Cheney as \u201ca guy who served his country\u201d and extended sympathy to the family.<\/p>\n<p>Cheney\u2019s memorial included full military honors and a distinguished guest list. Attendees included former Presidents Joe Biden and George W. Bush, First Ladies Jill Biden and Laura Bush, and former Vice Presidents Kamala Harris, Mike Pence, Al Gore, and Dan Quayle. Supreme Court justices, along with congressional leaders like Nancy Pelosi and Mitch McConnell, also paid their respects.<\/p>\n<p>Cheney died surrounded by his wife Lynne, daughters Liz and Mary, and other family members. The family cited complications from pneumonia, cardiac issues, and vascular disease. Before serving as vice president from 2001 to 2009, he held key roles including Secretary of Defense, White House Chief of Staff, and Wyoming congressman. Loved ones remembered Cheney as disciplined, principled, and deeply devoted to public service \u2014 a legacy that shaped American politics for decades.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Share Political leaders gathered in Washington, D.C., on November 20 to honor former Vice President Dick Cheney, one of the most influential Republicans of his era.
