Franken Sworn In

07.07.09 -- 12:16PM

Vice President Biden in his role as President of the Senate is now swearing in Al Franken.

Nice touch: Franken was escorted into the Senate chamber by Sen. Amy Klobuchar (D-MN) and former Vice President Walter Mondale, also of Minnesota.

An extended round of applause for Franken from the Senate and if the volume level is any guide from the Senate gallery, too.
