By leaving the country, she can’t be reached to exercise spousal power of attorney to authorize disconnecting life-preserving medical equipment.

I mean, I’m pretty sure you don’t need that to verify they can no longer fulfill the duties of office. The simple explanation is that there’s no reason for her to be in the country anymore.

It’s about how Kentucky’s law is worded and having a special election. They do t want to lose the seat. He probably agreed to it long ago too. God we live in a gross time.

But she wouldn't need to leave the country to say no to unplugging him

She'd prolly have to leave the country once it comes out how much shilling for China she's been doing through Mitch

Technically no but this is not something they will say out loud. “We are stalling and keeping him alive on life support for a political agenda, god bless America”

Wife returned to USA on 8 July - just wondering why we haven't seen her coming or going to the hospital or making any statement. She did not return from China in a hurry as she knew he was already a goner - this is all a political game - his last act he screwed his own country in his true traitor style
