We really need for all congresscritters to retire at 67 years old.

That piece of filth is in office precisely because of Mitch McConnell’s treachery and treason.

There should be term limits and yearly basic competence tests for everyone in public office.

When was the last time that doddering old fool was even seen in public?

Hatch still has to serve out his term, which means the President Pro Tempore will not revert to Cochran until a year from now. We can only hope Cochran has to retire this next year. Give him a silver drool cup and a parade and send him on his way as well.

Cochran can barely drool pablum. We’ve painted our country into a corner with these Senators over 75 with mental disabilities and serious health issues.

No term limits.

I don’t believe in term limits. You have inexperienced people who can’t handle terrorist attacks, etc.

You need SMART people, people who have TRUST AND HONESTY.

How long has it been since the Senator was seen in DC?

The founding fathers never intended federal political office holders to have a lifetime seat. Term limits

Term limits are what an active, informed, participating electorate brings to pass.

People in MS believe in him and have since 1972, when he first went to the House; then six years later, the Senate, forever more.

After Cochran, next in seniority is Charles Grassley of Iowa, elected in the Reagan landslide.

Take a lot to make Paul Ryan look good but this just about does it.

FYI
Presidential succession is:
President
Vice-President
Speaker of the House
President Pro Tempore (Senate)
Cabinet Officers by order of creation

“After Hatch leaves office, and should the republicans retain the Senate majority, Thad Cochran will be senior-most republican senator, and will likely be made President Pro-Tempore, third in line for the Presidency.”

Enough with the drool squad.
