A Senator must be in the Chamber to vote.

McCain may never leave Arizona.

First thing in my mind as i read this: Yeah, in a box.

I shall go do some penance for that.

You are correct...and the only reason is that the vote is based on those present. In other words...if only 90 show up...46 to 44 is a win.

But there was no way to accommodate anything but showing up when the rule was made. What would our forefathers do in this EXTENUATING CIRCUMSTANCE? Put it on a live screen on the Senate floor.

Common sense.

I repeat...Johnson was sworn in on a plane.
