Amen to that! No matter how ill or incompetent they are, most politicians are pretty much guaranteed to stay in office for life. What about that one senator from S. Dakota who had the stroke? Has he recovered, or are other people voting for him? And, of course, there was Sen. Byrd who was obviously too ill to perform his duties, but nothing was done to remove him from office. We don’t have elected officials; we have royalty.
Being in jail is no impediment, assuming you're from Chicago and put a "D." after your name.
Senator Tim Johnson is still in the Senate despite a stroke. He is such a joke. Can barely speak and yet runs hearings. Out of duty to his nation, he should have stepped down. But, no. Vanity rules.
