Capitol Hill where he presided for the first time ever over United State Senate he did not wear a silk hat because Ike did not wear a silk hat and the vice president should never be more high hat than the president there is no confirmation however of rumors that the vice president had a little difficulty explaining to his wife that he must wear a hurg because General Eisenhower was wearing a hurg
