Present! We ain’t talking about Christmas gifts – it’s the art of not taking a stand
by Alan Lange The late Alan Nunnelee was notorious in both the Mississippi Senate and in the US House for saying, “let your yeas be a yea and your nays be a nay.” Voting “present” for legislation, as opposed to voting yes or no or just not voting, is known euphemistically in the chamber as…
