    Eighth cousins? I think FenPhen and Georgie are sixth.

    The actual swearing-in happens inside the chamber with all of the new members at once. Afterward they pose for these reenactment photos with their hands on the Bible (or whatever book they choose) and usually some of their family members. Cheney poses with them for the reenactments because he's the president of the Senate. It's an old tradition.

    Same thing happens on the House-side except instead of the president of the Senate (Cheney) doing the posing alongside the new members, it's the speaker of the House (Nancy Pelosi this last time around).
