Reports widespread now that Sen. Ted Kennedy had what appeared to be a seizure during the formal luncheon on Capitol Hill for the new President and left the room on a stretcher.
Separately, Sen. Robert Byrd also had medical trouble at the same luncheon, which added confusion to the initial reports.
