The most interesting picture of the day could be Dick Cheney swearing in the man that will soon replace him as vice president, Joe Biden. As sitting vice president, Cheney presides over the Senate — and Biden is not only vice president-elect, but the newly re-elected senior senator from Delaware. He’ll give that position up come January 20, when he takes the vice presidential oath of office.
Two other senators who get sworn in today will most likely soon be stepping down as well. Sen. Hillary Clinton of New York has been nominated by President-elect Barack Obama to serve as his secretary of state. And Sen. Ken Salazar of Colorado has been nominated by Obama to serve as secretary of the interior. Both will resign their seats if confirmed to their new positions, as expected, by the Senate.
I’ll keep my eye out for the snapshot…
Biden’s just having that kind of week…
Update: Say cheese…
