WTF… how is this even legal?
It's not how it was legal, but why the house leadership didn't mention it before the last election cycle. It's similar to why the ethics committee didn't want to reveal the dirt on the first Department of Justice nominee -- it would make them look bad!

Politicians should realize that staying in too long will harm their own party.
RBG got replaced with a conservative, Biden sank the Democratic ticket, Kay Granger hasn't been present to vote with her fellow Republicans, ...
This should absolutely be a bipartisan issue.

On the other hand, cognitive impairment can help a candidate when voters end up empathizing with them.
But also, you know, this isn't a left/right issue. It's mostly one of power.
There's a republican member of congress right now that's in a retirement home and hasn't been in congress since July.
