Why is it a problem to address a Senator as a senator?
ifyoucantfixit:
I think its a matter of respect. You wouldnt address the President as sir. If he kept calling you
General, etc. You would use their proper title. Even after a person is no longer in office. They are
still addressed as former Pres, Senator, representative, or whatever.

Why would a senator arrest speeders?
Anyway. I noticed during the roll call vote for the health care bill, whoever was calling each senator's name said "Mr." or "Miss" or "Mrs.", so it must not be mandatory to use the title, "Senator". The general was right, and the senator was wrong and rude to publicly correct him.

Who was doing the roll-calling? A general?
