It's been 5/6 weeks, his term is 6 years. I don't really see what it matters that he's been out sick for such a small amount of time, when we know exactly why he's been out. I don't see people giving a fuck that McConnell has been out for 3 weeks and counting for his medical issue.

E- Senate term is 6 years, not 4.

You're correct, I changed it.

It’s not the first time in history someone got sick. Some senators have been absent for over a year

Depression and anxiety are diseases just like cancer is. I don’t see any other Congress members stepping down when they’ve had to be hospitalized for all sorts of reasons.
