June 16, 2004 -- WASHINGTON — Top Republicans in John Kerry's home state of Massachusetts yesterday urged him to resign from the Senate to run for president — because he's there so rarely, he has missed 88 percent of Senate votes.

NY Post

All while illegally drawing his $158,000 salary:

John Kerry is stealing from the taxpayers, and he must be held accountable.

2 U.S.C. § 39 mandates that "The Secretary of the Senate ... shall deduct from the [salary] of each Member ... the amount of his salary for each day that he has been absent from the Senate ... unless such Member ... assigns as the reason for such absence the sickness of himself or of some member of his family."

The Secretary of the Senate refuses to dock Sen. Kerry's pay for the days he is absent running for President. In response to a legal letter demanding that she enforce the law, the Senate Secretary said that, because her predecessors had failed to enforce the law, she would not enforce it either.
