Grassley Speaks on the Passing of Dick Cheney

Floor Remarks by Senator Chuck Grassley of Iowa Senate President Pro Tempore “The Passing of Dick Cheney” Tuesday, November 4, 2025 VIDEO Dick Cheney lived a life of service to his country. He was bit by the political bug, biting him very early in his life, and he was committed, that entire life, to public service. He served as White House Chief of Staff under President Ford. He was a congressman for the people of Wyoming. He was the 17th Secretary of Defense and the [46]th Vice President of the United States. Dick Cheney was a part of American history for more than five decades. Barbara and I will pray for Dick’s family as they mourn the loss of a beloved family member. -30-
