We need a law that makes it a felony for Senate/Congressional staff to send out statements in boss’s name or to even set foot on the voting floor if the elected official has been absent w/out a filmed statement of proof of life WITH A NOTARY PRESENT IN FRAME and reason for absence after 30 days.
The problem is, even if there is a process, it relies on people being transparent and the senate enforcing the rules. And that is clearly not going to happen in this regime.
