didn't Cheney have to divest all his stocks ... when he ran for office?

I'm not sure he HAD to. I say that on the basis, that when Dave Packard (of H-P fame) held a government position, (I believe Deputy Secretary of Defense), he resigned from H-P, and put all his stocks into a blind trust that he did not have any influence/control over.

EDIT : the earnings/profits from that trust/fund were also to be donated to charity. Page 174-176 of "The HP Way" by Dave Packard.
