There should be some kind of Constitutional rule that if a Senator doesn’t vote....it reverts to the governor of a state and he gets a chance to vote instead of the Senator.

I'd bet if you docked their pay, they would vote. Of course it might be "present" like the community organizer did.

We used to have Senators chosen by the State Governments. In changing that to elected by the people, it was one of the very big mistakes that have been made in weakening our Constitution.
