Save Dick Cheney says he kept a secret resignation letter in a safe while he was US Vice-President in case his shaky health suddenly deteriorated.
Cheney, who has a history of heart problems, said that he signed the letter two months after entering office with President George W. Bush in 2001.
It was always in a safe and only one staff member knew about it.
