Governor should send in the state police to verify his status.

It's not rocket science.

Man was 84 going on 85 and has been in mediocre health for years at this point.

It well it could be some drawn scheme to hide. He could have also finally keeled over at a rather inconvenient moment for his cohorts. As the Average Life Expectancy for an adult man in the U.S is about 77. So he exceeded it by several years at this point.

Apparently, if he dies before some deadline in August they have to hold a special election to replace him. If they can keep him on ice until the deadline, the election for his seat gets rolled into midterms.

They're probably afraid someone honest will be elected in his place. I guess this buys them some time?

There's only 1 Q post with "Turtle" mentioned, on July 25th. (3 replies deep said by an Anon, not Q)

I asked Brave Search:

per the rules of congress how long can a congressman be in a coma or medically incapacitated from doing his job before he gets replaced?

There is no rule, law, or constitutional provision that automatically replaces a member of Congress due to medical incapacitation or coma, regardless of duration. A sitting member can remain in office indefinitely while unable to perform duties unless they voluntarily resign, die, or are expelled by a two-thirds vote of their chamber.

Historical precedents confirm that members have retained their seats despite long-term incapacity. Senator Karl Mundt remained in office for three years after a stroke left him unable to perform duties, and Senator Carter Glass was absent for over four years due to illness without being removed. The only instance of a seat being declared vacant due to incapacity involved Representative Gladys Noon Spellman, who fell into a coma before being sworn in for a new term; her seat was declared vacant because she could not take the oath, not because she was removed during an active term.

Potential mechanisms for removal or replacement are limited and difficult to execute:

Expulsion: Requires a two-thirds majority vote and has historically been used only for misconduct, never for medical reasons.

Mass Incapacitation: In scenarios where many members are incapacitated, Congress might fail to reach a quorum, but no existing rule allows for temporary appointments to fill these gaps without a constitutional amendment.

Vacancy Declaration: Seats are typically only declared vacant upon death, resignation, or failure to qualify (e.g., not showing up for swearing-in), not for ongoing medical conditions during a term. 

This sounds like a major loophole. No corporation would tolerate paying an absent worker for 4 years.

Does this make him a Democrat now?
