Dick Cheney was president of the United States?

Sometimes the omission of one little word can make all the difference. And some facts are easier to confirm than others.

And for some time on Tuesday, in an article about Dick Cheney’s visit to Capitol Hill, the New York Times thought George W. Bush’s No. 2 held a much higher title than he actually did.

Don’t worry though — you didn’t miss an entire election and presidential term.
