What is our take on this situation? When these guys (and gals) in their advanced ages have these medical situations and cannot serve for weeks or months, should they step down and vacate?
This supports max age limits IMO. These people should not be making decisions that impact our future.

Mitch is in great shape and should still be when he's 100.

Happens all the time.  Feinstein stayed in office until she was dead.  We did something similar with Patsy Mink in Hawaii.  I think she likely dead (on life support) but they didn't pull the plug until some deadline passed that would have affected appointing her successor.
