October 06, 2004 October is Koufax Pledge Drive month

Is there a truancy officer for the Senate?

"Now, in my capacity as vice president, I am the president of [the] Senate, the presiding officer. I'm up in the Senate most Tuesdays when they're in session.

The first time I ever met you was when you walked on the stage tonight."

Vice President Cheney, October 5, 2004

I guess he means "most Tuesdays" in years other than 2004. Or 2003, 2002, or 2001.

Update: I couldn't even find a picture of Cheney in his role as President of the Senate. I did however find the previous Senate President:

Update2: Finally found a picture of Cheney acting as Senate President - on May 23, 2003, to cast the deciding vote Friday in the Republican-led Senate, giving final approval to a $350 billion tax package.
