	U.S. Senate
		Vice presidents cannot vote in the Senate, except to break a tie, nor may they formally address the Senate, except with the senators' permission.
		Initially vice presidents appointed senators to standing committees, regulated access to the galleries and supervised the keeping of the Senate Journal, but these duties were later removed.
		Junior senators fill in as presiding officer when neither the vice president nor president pro tempore is on the Senate Floor.

	Washington Senators - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		This franchise is sometimes referred to as "the first Washington Senators." Space-saving newspaper writers continued to refer to the Senators/Twins as the "Nats" until they left for Minnesota at the end of the 1960 season.
		Note: Because the original Senators' relocation to Minnesota and the expansion Senators' arrival occurred in the same year (1961), and both had the same name, it is a very common mistake to confuse or combine the two baseball franchises.
		Varying shades of the Senators' red, white and blue colors are still used by their successor teams (Minnesota and Texas), and the Washington Nationals adopted these colors with gold accents upon their 2005 move from Montreal.

		The Senators finished ahead of the Orioles in just the first season (1954) that they coexisted, and it soon became apparent that there would be no major baseball rivalry, despite the geographic proximity of Baltimore and Washington.
