Actually he wouldn't be dead, he'd be undead. I could see him walking around as a zombie, would be a very familiar role for him.

Still in "rehab" I believe. Or at least the cardboard cutout of him is.

I know this is an old post, but I have a problem with this idea. It may be somewhat true in, say, a presidential primary where generally there are multiple viable contenders. But people like McConnell (and many other senators/congresspeople) often sit in deeply partisan districts or states, and both parties do a lot to ensure that their long-sitting politicians don't get serious primary challenges. Voters just don't have a ton of choice in the matter oftentimes. And then we end up with situations like McConnell or Feinstein.

Yeah, if you don't want to just do term limits, at least make a rule that you can't run for office once you turn 75 years old.

If they were a problem for their constituents then they would not be reelected. My problem is that we need stronger rules for officials that have a stroke or other medical emergency that prevents their ability to participate for an extended period of time.
