I think so. The ingenious part of Cheney's argument is that his office "is a unique office that is neither a part of the executive branch nor a part of the legislative branch, but is attached by the Constitution to the latter. The vice presidency performs functions in both the legislative branch … and in the executive branch."
It's like it's a interplanetary office hovering just outside the ionosphere of Constitutional reach. Quite inventive, really.
