#3 ..requires him to submit a report to Congress detailing the impact of his 'sequester' on defense..

Doesn't want to show his hand at serious cuts in troop strength and pay. To do so before the election would kill his chances of reelection with the general public. Not to do so would finally have serious funding impact upon everything else which would alienate his base and probably kill his reelection. So he votes Present because there is no real penalty as a consequence since the MSM isn't going to make it an issue.
