In the context of my planting on Sen. Tim Johnson, there was a discussion of whether the Senate had ever expelled a member who was permanently incapacitated. The answer is no.
The issue is no doubt moot. As long as he is alive, Johnson’s ouster would not get the two-thirds vote it would require, given that the Democratic majority depends on his occupying the seat (whether he is capable of literally doing so or not).
It would, of course, be even better were the issue to be moot on account of Johnson’s recovery. It is still early in the process, but current signs are “encouraging.”
