Senator Patrick Leahy, 80, who will preside over the sham impeachment trial, was taken to the hospital today. He complained of not feeling well in the Capitol office, examined, and sent to the hospital.
“Out of an abundance of caution, the Attending Physician recommended that he be taken to a local hospital for observation, where he is now, and where he is being evaluated,” Leahy spokesperson David Carle said.
Earlier today, Leahy was sworn in to preside over the trial.
Leahy, the president pro tempore, is constitutionally the second-highest-ranking official in the Senate behind Vice President Kamala Harris, who is the president of the chamber under Article One.

Elders who got the vax jab are not feeling well now. I tried to dissuade them but to no avail.

Carry on.
A person cannot be anymore arrogant in thinking, they, are so vital to the nation, as to stay in office for a lifetime. Do they believe the country will fall apart once They leave. Well, good riddance.
They stay in office by campaigning (while being paid their salary) and spending millions in campaign donations to do so because they (and their families) take in millions of dollars by staying in office. Do a search for MILLIONAIRES IN THE US CONGRESS.
Well, I guess since we can’t seem to vote these people out of office we will have to rely on divine intervention.
