WASHINGTON — President Bush gave Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld an unequivocal vote of confidence Wednesday, saying he would remain in the job until the end of Bush’s presidency, a pointed response to Democrats — and Republicans — who have called for Rumsfeld’s resignation.

Bush made the comment during an interview in which he also said Vice President Dick Cheney, whose name has been tossed about in the discussion of possible 2008 Republican presidential contenders, will remain on the job through the end of Bush’s second four-year term in January 2009. Cheney has repeatedly said he will not be a candidate in 2008.

“Both men are doing fantastic in their jobs,” Bush told reporters.
