Yeah 10 senators who didn’t show up for work. These guys work 100 days max for 177,000 dollars a year and they can’t even show up to vote. I wish the 10 would be fired immediately. You do know in the real World that you have to show up for work or you are fired immediately. Congress is a blister that needs to be popped and changed. I can see why they only have a 9 percent approval rate if you can’t do the most basic think like showing up at the appointed place in time. 10 Senators were UA or AWOL or whatever you want to say. So sick of it!

Where are the missing 10 Senators?

Obviously don’t care about their jobs. I think we should know the 10 Senators who skipped their job today at least.

Grab some Iranians — maybe some of the UN staff — two of theirs for every American they are known to hold. Tell them that we’ll be holding these people until they release our Americans.

The Senate’s mental Viagra. Talk about impotent.

I'm glad you're upset about the 10 senators who didn't show to vote. Knock yourself out. But the point of my comment was not about them because I can't do anything about them. My question was about the 67 votes needed to override the veto of the president.

Nevermind.

That’s what I’m asking.

Strange that we can’t seem to get a roll call.

I looked all over yesterday, and will try again today.

‘Still can’t find anything. Sure seems they’re covering for someone.

The Senate began a 15 minute roll call vote on adoption of S.Con.Res.16, stating the policy of the U.S. regarding the release of U.S. citizens in Iran. Final passage was 90-0. Not voting...

Booker (D-NJ) Cruz (R-TX) Graham (R-SC) Kirk (R-IL) Rubio (R-FL) Sanders (I-VT) Sullivan (R-AK) Thune (R-SD) Vitter (R-LA) Wyden (D-OR)

What are their flimsy excuses this time?

4 of them are running for President. Not that that is an excuse, but they probably should take a pay cut if they are not going to show up for work. I have no idea why the others were no shows. Somebody should ask them and make them go on the record.
