Not officially. He's just trying to hold them politically accountable, although I'm not sure how effective it will be.

Oh I have an idea for a New Better Deal. What if we made everyone rich? Then nobody would need to work! The government can just print up enough money to make everybody a billionaire then everyone can retire and not need to work.

No, but it's entirely logical that if you're 'present' and don't vote FOR it, it's most likely because you're too big a coward to vote 'against' it.
