You can vote by proxy in committee (sometimes- it depends on the Committee rules and the type of vote) but I do not believe you can vote by proxy during an actual floor vote.
I could be wrong on this, however.

Thanks for the info. Yup, now I remember that the proxy vote was in committee. All the DUmmies are being very careful to post "Glad he will be OK, but glad that he's going to miss the vote" They take this to mean that the 'deity' is on their side... (They can't every bring themselves to refer to God - ever...)

If Senators' floor votes could be by proxy there probably would never be more than 4 Senators on the floor (and one presiding.) Two on each side; one to make motions for his side, the other to second them. Also, why would they need quorum calls?
