Sen. John McCain's office announced Wednesday he has a cancerous brain tumor.
McCain's office is optimistic of his return to his duties, saying "Further consultations with Senator McCain's Mayo Clinic care team will indicate when he will return to the United States Senate."
The tumor, a glioblastoma, is a highly malignant, aggressive, cancerous tumor, according to the American Brain Tumor Association. McCain is 80 years old. He is getting treatment, including chemotherapy and radiation, at the Mayo Clinic.
The Seventeenth Amendment established the rules of appointing vacancies in the Senate. In Arizona, if a senator dies, resigns or is expelled, Gov. Doug Ducey would appoint a replacement of the same political party.
The governor could choose to appoint himself. The person appointed would serve until the next statewide election.
They should get his testimony now. But they’re slow walking everything.
yup.
these potential “witnesses” have a high risk of arkancide.
In honor of McNasty it will be his daughter.
I know she was a Maricopa County Supervisor and then went up
The state legislature chain.
In Texas, the governor would appoint a temporary senator who would serve till a special election is held. There is no primary. All candidates run in one election. If no candidate wins a majority, the top two candidates face each other in a runoff.
Isn't it interesting how different states deal with the same problems?
This type of "statecraft" is my primary objection to the Repeal the 17th Movement.
How many consecutive governors of Illinois have been convicted of felonies?
The Sunday Shows are Democrats.
So yes, of course they will “pile on” the Republicans. That’s what Criminal Enterprise otherwise know as Democrats, otherwise known as the Liberal Media otherwise known as the Sunday Shows do.
LOLOL
It’s common knowledge that the Liberal Media are Dem Operatives who pose as unbiased journalists. Everyone knows that the Sunday Shows are just LIBERALS.
We know this. LOL Same with Wash Post and NYT.
They have an agenda. They do not hide their agenda. Their agenda is anti Trump. FACT. Everyone sees through their Liberal agenda on the Sunday shows.
The left loves the macabre. They'd probably eat it up, while *normal* people would be further shocked by McCain exposing his suffering.
Anyone with a heart will not rejoice in his suffering, although many are looking forward to his replacement. I think him going back to work would accelerate his demise and the appointment of that replacement.
Personally I doubt it, but I would bet the bank that they will do that for the traitor Thad from Mississippi.
