How do you vote “present”?

When a person doesn't have the backbone to vote "yeh" or "nay" they can vote "present". It's OK if used in small measures, but Obama uses it all the time.

He's afraid to go on the record.

It is one of the choices a Senator has:

He can vote:
Yes
No
Present

Obama consistently votes present.
