I'm sure there were times when both Gore & Cheney needed to be there constantly due to the possibility of needing to break a tie.

That's the answer I was looking for.

True, but I meant throughout their time as VP, when there'd be 1 or 2 Senators in the chamber.

Rufus King, who was sworn in in Cuba (and may not have made it out of Cuba [certainly didn't make it to Washington] before he died).

Half wrong Smiley  William Rufus King was sworn in in Cuba and died at home in Alabama.

It would have been nice had Rufus King made it the Vice Presidency in either of his two attempts.

Correct, but William and Rufus were two different politicians.

I've no idea which President it was, but my semi-educated guess for the nation is Liberia.

Not Libya.

It was FDR as JJ also said, and JJ clearly spotted the ultimate reason for the trip to Africa.
(It's really very unlikely that the country will be guessed.)

That's not what I'm looking for, FDR didn't go directly to Casablanca.

Casablanca was in French Morocco, but that's not what I'm looking for.

Did he stop in the Canary Islands for refueling?

No. There were actually two overnight stops on the way to Casablanca, Trinidad was the first and the answer I'm looking for was the second.
