Sen. Mitch McConnell appeared to freeze momentarily at an event in Covington, Ky. McConnell also froze in July at a news conference on Capitol Hill, going silent before being escorted away.

    Are you saying that there should be a law against a standing office holder losing an election? I hope I’m misunderstanding you. If the voters decide that someone who is serving in an office should not be returned to that office, whether it’s president, senator, governor or whatever, then that’s what the election is for. Have you never voted against someone who was currently in office?

    Both McConnel and Feinstein should have been voted out of office a cycle or two ago, purely on the basis of competency rather than politics.

      No. I am only speaking in the most vague and general sense. I did not draft a proposal that handles any of the issues you mentioned. I certainly agree that it’s not as simple as I described it but at the same time there is a large space of solutions that will make sense to some people (and not others) testing elected officials for mental capacity doesn’t mean the testing needs to depend on election cycles. why should it?
