I spent an hour today....reading up on Senate powers to confirm Mitch's health....basically, they ZERO-power over this.
His wife could settle things.....his kin-folks could settle things. None of them seem keen proving Mitch lives.
The governor? He sent a note.....but it's basically going to the staff.
This turning into a joke? Yeah.
Trump settling it? He could walk into the hospital, but I doubt that the guards would allow him into the room.
As the smoke clears (he's a vegie-guy)....the House/Senate need to hire a doctor and mandate once a month.....you prove you live and breathe.
