If ALL 100 senators are in the chamber, why does it take them more than an hour to vote?

It takes 59 minutes to collect the lobbyist payoffs and <1 minute to say 'Yeh' or 'Nah'.

It takes 55 minutes for 99 votes and five minutes for Sen. Kennedy to read the statement from PFAW telling him how to vote.
