@sue.oconnell.nbcboston: Where is Senator Mitch McConnell? That question is now being asked by both a Democratic governor and a Republican congressman. McConnell is entitled to medical privacy. But voters are also entitled to know whether their elected senator can communicate, make decisions, and do the job. Diagnosis private. Capacity public. Should Congress require a public capacity update when a member is absent for more than 30 days? Tell me yes or no — and what your rule would say. #MitchMcConnell #Congress #Politics #GovernmentAccountability #Trump

Ruthie0221 :

No. As soon as they know they will not be showing up for work, they need to inform the Senate or Congress. If they plan to be off for more than two weeks, they need to let their state gov know so they can find a replacement representative, whether temp or permanent, to fill the seat and ensure their constituents maintain representation in our government.

Kelly ☘️ :

Elected officials should have to ask for leave like everyone else. And they should have to provide a valid reason for the leave, not just stop going to work with no explanation.

Esther Rendón :

What other job would allow this?

Yair P.J. aka J. :

What both parties should have is term limits on all congressmen...

Tanner Lindsay :

It needs to be *at most* a week. If I was incommunicado for a week, I would lose my job. Even without being absent, we should have competence/capacity disclosure for all elected officials.

Kyle D. :

I do support 30 day limit

fcbaker1 :

aseptdream :

springer :

When Mitch and I talked on the phone today for 20 minutes, we planned a mountain biking date for tomorrow.

Nellicus :

I spoke to Mitch on the phone for 20 minutes, he told me about this bright light that he wanted to walk into, but kept being pushed away from it

user9936153254426 :

Congress needs to subpoena all of his staff under oath and answer all of the questions

John be good :

I spent 20 minutes talking to Him last night and He told me that the Turtle has retreated into His shell , 6 more weeks of Winter and He will see me after the " Midterms" .😂

jlynno :

To serve in congress they should have to complete a puzzle.

thecosmeticlasertech :

He gone…why is everyone playing along?

Happy Dayze :

The Republicans Are Hiding Him
