Unacceptable
If I worked somewhere and missed 6 straight months I would not have a job.
If he really cared about his constituents he would resign and let them have adequate representation
That brings up another thing abut elected reps
If anyone wants to run for president while sitting an elected term in the House or Senate they should be required to resign their seats.
How many people do you know can say to their employer, " I want a year or so off with pay while I try to get another job and f it doesn't work out I want my old job back."
how do you feel about all of the campaigning president trump has done while a sitting president?
Not quite the same thing now is it?
A senator doesn't have a flying office or the same resources as the president.
A senator or Rep is elected to represent the people of his state he should not be paid while he is trying to get another job
and a governor is paid to be the governor, not run for president, and a legislator is paid to be a state legislator, not run for vice president, and a congress critter who runs for a Senate opening spot...
etc etc etc.....
can you see how ridiculous your assertion is....?
only the billionaire, who owns his own company could run, and only people with no government experience and knowledge...
we would not have had half or more of our best presidents....for goodness sake.
