May 16, 2024Cheney Gets to WorkHey look! The Veep is out of his undisclosed location: By a 51-49 vote late Thursday, the Senate approved a bill cutting individual income taxes and some business levies by $350 billion through 2024. Before passage, senators voted to slice the dividend tax in half this year, then suspend it completely for three years. That roll call was 51-50, with Vice President Dick Cheney arriving to cast the tie-breaking vote.

The math from that snippet does not seem to add up. How could he cast a tie-breaking vote that goes from 51-49 (wouldn't need the tie-breaker then), to 51-50, where the last vote would not have mattered if it simply added to the losing (49) side.
