John McCain was reelected in 2016.
******************
Correct. But the next two elections whereby the seat could be on the ballot are Nov. 2018 and 2020.
The 2018 ballot requires a May 31 filing date for primaries, thus the seat must be open before that
date. In 2022 that would be the normal election cycle for the full six year term.

John McCain wants to be buried near his Navy pal Chuck Larson, 'back where it all began'
I believe he can be buried where he wants to be, if he made the arrangement.
That’s not the word I would use.
expire? lol
his expiration date passed long ago
McCain is like a cold sore. Can’t wait for him to croak. I’ll set off fireworks, and schedule a trip to DC. Arlington, with a full bladder.
How about I like heroes that don't:
Screw over vets
Dump wives when they are ill
Don't conspire with our enemies
Pursue grievances to the detriment of American saftey & security
Don't hotdog & kill many of their crewmates or down 5 aircraft
Don't retell history to be the hero
Lie, connive and commit treason to get at a political enemy
Correct.
So therefore any suspect behavior, ergo, anything he does out spite and bitterness that is anti-Trump or anti-GOP is excused.
I’d prefer he just die.
Die. It is time for the rat-bastard to just die!
He’s way past expiration date for a GBM.

Bttt
That sounds like a step in the right direction. I’d be happy with four 2-year terms for the Reps, since they already have (unlimited) 2-yr terms. That would give them 8 years each.
As for the Senators, if the terms are too short, nobody can do anything. But I’d be happy giving them two 6-yr terms. Twelve years each.
The reason that the terms overlap like this is in the Constitution that you don’t want all the Senators and all the Reps (or at any rate, most of them) to be running at the same time. They spend so much of their time and energy running for office now, as it is, that they barely accomplish anything, and potentially getting them all out on the campaign trail at once would paralyze the government. Not that it’s not already paralyzed since they all show up in DC for work about three days a week and seem to regard that as an imposition.
Glioblastoma Multiforme has a 97% 5-year mortality rate. And that is the average for the entire incident population, not for 81 year old men.
and ZERO pension
Past time, say by, 30 years or so
See? If I were a political column writer, I’d type something like this and the subject of my column would croak the next day making it irrelevant except for the people who were pissed off to complain I was so insensitive to beat up on a dead guy.
Yes, I second the motion for ZERO pensions.
