		Senators can even place a "hold" on a bill, although this practice is not recognized in Senate rules or precedents, by which they ask their party's floor leader to object on their behalf to any unanimous consent request to consider the bill, at least until they have been consulted.
		For example, let's say that senator "X" had promised a contributor (or relative) a job in exchange for a "voluntary" contribution or there was a vote due on a piece of legislation that affected his state while he was "detained" with a young female constituent and a bottle of champagne.
		Senators Lott and Daschle last week jointly wrote to their colleagues announcing that from now on, a senator wishing to place a hold must notify the bill's sponsor, the appropriate committees, and his or her leader.

	U.S. Senate: Senators Home > Senate Leadership
		The "offices" of the majority and the minority leader, as we know them today, are of recent development in the history of the Senate although individual Senators since 1789 have assumed leading roles in the determination of what the Senate would or would not do.
		The power or influence of some Senators, in various periods of our history, to guide or lead their respective parties, or even the Senate itself, in the determination of a legislative program, has been particularly noteworthy.
		These meetings, however, were not invoked to perform as organized political caucuses for the purpose of selecting persons to serve as floor leaders for the parties during the sessions of the Senate until the latter part of the 19th century.

		WASHINGTON -- In the genteel club that is the United States Senate, Majority Leader Bill Frist, R-Tenn., had a screaming temper tantrum yesterday.
		The Senate follows a strict script, written by the majority leader himself, who decides what legislation will be debated and who will speak when.
		The precautions were hardly necessary, because the senators -- rather than discussing sensitive information, as Rule 21 envisioned -- spent the next two hours bickering, and then rushing outside to give impromptu news conferences before the cameras.

	Lott's demise will slow Republicans - smh.com.au
		The abrupt resignation of Trent Lott as the United States Senate majority leader will make it much more difficult for Republicans to quickly enact their ambitious agenda when Congress returns next month, Republican and Democratic officials say.
		After the November elections that gave the party a majority, some Senate leaders had talked of moving quickly on such measures as a new energy bill and a plan to make it easier for religious organisations to receive federal money.
		But since those heady post-election days, Senate Republicans have lost their majority leader in a painful and racially tinged ordeal that has scrambled their plans and their high command.

	CNN.com - Lott steps down as majority leader - Dec. 20, 2002
		Lott was elected majority leader in November, but his political standing eroded in Washington because of the controversy surrounding his praise of Strom Thurmond's 1948 segregationist campaign for the presidency.
		But he was among the first of the GOP's 51 senators to call for a meeting of the party conference to consider whether to vote on a new leader.
		But most GOP senators kept quiet about whether they thought Lott should be replaced, and the dynamics changed dramatically once word leaked out that Frist was sounding out his colleagues about a run.

		In the wake of one of the most devastating natural disasters in U.S. history, it is unfathomable that the Senate has chosen to focus its efforts on more tax cuts for the wealthiest of the wealthy instead of helping our most vulnerable citizens whose lives have been shattered by Hurricane Katrina.
		I call on you to postpone action on this measure until all Senators have had an opportunity to be fully briefed on the latest damage assessments and relief efforts and we have a chance to enact a comprehensive relief and recovery package for the victims of Katrina.
