Although Dick Chaney is the Senate President, in reality he is only a tie break vote. The President Pro Tempore (the longest serving senator in the majority party) is the one who handles the day to day work of the Senate. Majority Leader Harry Reid Democrat President Pro Tempore Robert C. Byrd Democrat Assistant Majority Leader (Democratic Whip) Richard Durbin Democrat Minority Leader Mitch McConnell Republican -- I am not lost, I find myself every time.

CylonRed Premium,MVM join:2000-07-06 Bloom County 1 edit	Yet it is the Republicans who pretty much voted down the last bill and there was not enough Democrats in the Senate to override. If the Democrats were truly in power the bill would have passed. The Republican's have pretty much forced the tax breaks thru that the Democrats have generally been against. The Republican's in the Senate forced the House to include measures they did not want in the bill. Hardly the Democrats pulling their power against the President or over the Republican's. If the Democrats pulled all of the strings - the tax breaks would not be in and the last bill would have passed. The Republican party in all of the things I have seen - took the accolades with defeating the last bailout package. EDIT - opps - I see I had my the House and senate mixed up - thinking the Senate defeated the first and second legislation when it was the House...
