There is ****no***** law that would reqire this Senator to resign and given the slim Dem advantage, it is doubtfull that he will, even if the effects of the stroke rneder hi unable to resume an active role in the Senate...

What this means is that the Seante will still be run by the Dems with comittee chairs being Dems and sopena powers in Dems hands...

Yeah, this is a setback for the Dems but not a deal buster...
