DTB, you have to listen very carefully here to get exactly what Cheney said.
Just because he said in one sentance that he is the presiding officer of the Senate and in another sentance that he is up at the Senate every Tuesday, it doesn't mean he is presiding over the Senate on Tuesdays.
And just because he said this in the context of suggesting that he and Edwards should have had some quality time together because he spends so much time in such an important capacity in the senate, doesn't mean he is actually physically anywhere near the Senate floor when he is "up at the Senate". It turns out he is actually somewhere in the building having lunch, and thought Edwards must (a) eat and (b) do so on Tuesdays with Republicans. Either that or he thinks a Senator ought to be sitting in the lobby holding open the door when the Vice President enters the building.
Remember, it's not a lie. It's just spin.
