It's kind of a weird area since Congress would be the one who would need to make that call, but none of them are going to risk losing their seat just because someone else votes them unfit.

I feel like even if you only had to have like a very small list of health reasons that would automatically force you to resign, you'd think brain cancer and stroke probably have to be 1a and 1b. Maybe followed up by untreated syphilis or psychotic break.

I mean he wasn't just a Senator, but he was also the Chairman of the Senate Armed Services Committee, which has oversight on "the nation's military, including the Department of Defense, military research and development, and nuclear energy (as pertaining to national security),"

I'm not saying McCain was completely out of his mind, but he had some rough patches. (The Comey questioning.) I feel like there's some things that you really want to be 100% on people's brains working properly, and that's not really possible when they have brain cancer.
