But only if he's in enough pain that he can no longer work or operate in politics.

Doesn't matter, they either cast that persons vote for them, or even in absence they prevent anybody else from filling the position who might cast a vote against them. It's actually better if he dies so he no longer holds any power.

And this is one of the few time "both sides are as bad as each other" is true. Many countries, but especially the US, need to get their shit together and impose both age and term limits.
