I want to know what the Senate Rules are for being able to cast a vote. How did McCain cast a vote? I thought the rule was you had to be there in person to do so. I have heard stories of senators that literally had to be carried in to vote. So how can McCain vote from Arizona?

Senators have to be present on the Senate floor to vote. McCain did not vote. See reply 42.

There have been cases in the past where sick Senators were brought in on a gurney so they could cast their vote. Sorry, I have no names or dates.
