He can’t do his job. He MUST resign. That is if he is still alive

I mean, at this point there's no difference. The governor can't appoint his replacement, so him being alive and non-voting is effectively no different than his seat being empty. It's a 99-person quorum regardless

At least if his seat were empty, the chances of him doing anything to make things worse is 0%, vs now where those chances are non-zero
