Someone is pulling a "weekend with Bernie" in the Senate (and Whitehouse).

It's being spun as control over her deceased husband's estate.

So does her daughter get to vote in the Senate for her?

Well dems are all about being inclusive and feels. So if it feels like right thing to do, then let her daughter vote. Rules be damned. That's the way libs work

I think it's ridiculous she hasn't put in her paperwork and hung it up. Don't get me wrong.

But personally having dealt with a parents estate planning at a young age. This move is seriously just being prudent and on top of your ***** I get how it could look like "it's being spun… etc" but this is normal course of biz.

Is that a picture of her daughter on the left, or is that a photo of the senator taken during the Great War?

That's her daughter. Her appearance is apparently an intentional and cultivated look.

Your post doesn't make complete sense to me but if she can't handle her personal affairs, she has no business being a Senator.

Would Joe ever sign over power of attorney to Hunter?

Overall she looks fairly young, but the bags under her eyes say otherwise.

Not competent enough to handle her own affairs

Competent enough to vote on yours

Never ever vote for a democrat.

that's great-she gets someone else to run her affairs but continues to be involved in running the country.

If Feinstein is 90 her daughter had to be 60+

Regardless of age, senators undoubtedly lead very busy schedules - at least if they are the slightest bit interested in serving their constituency. I could see delegating a personal matter like this to a family matter to free up a senator to concentrate on government stuff. However, that is obviously not in play here as Feinstein has demonstrated she is incapable of making her own decisions on any matter.

Aren't there specific powers of attorney for matters vs a general power of attorney over everything?

I still find amazing while serving on the senate intelligence committee she had a personal chauffeur that was eventually discovered as a Chinese spy (after 15 years). What's amazing is how they kept the story limited to its basically no big deal.

Finestein resigning would be better for the democrats, having her there and being told how to vote by an aide looks bad. Either way that spot is a Democrat vote on everything,

It's not a case like Ginsburg, clinging on to her Supreme Court seat until the very end else getting replaced by a conservative justice. There is zero doubt she would replaced by another Democrat, whether elected or appointed.

Constituents paying attention would work also. Our founding fathers built this for us to control and we are failing miserably.

That's the beauty of gerrymandering districts. It is never a matter of which party, only which person most fits the current type the constituents want at that moment.

Feinstein appears incompetent, but, even a competent person can execute a power of attorney that has immediate effect without needing to show disability. So, it's not quite the gotcha it appears. Frankly, one could argue that she's not competent at this point to execute a power of attorney.

Elections are when people find out what politicians stand for, and politicians find out what people will fall for.

Greed, lust for power, and mortal sin all require you to hold onto that Power. If you let it go, you have nothing to look at but your own sins.
This is why they all hang onto the very end; it justifies the sin in their mind, for the alternative they could not live with.

Maybe not hers because it's California, and she's a senator, but who knows if her district was tailored to make it harder for a republican to win.

That is what I think when I see anyone over 65 in office, or running for office.

I think if you need PoA for more than say a week for some short term incident it should be grounds for removal. Totally unacceptable to have a vegetable as an elected representative.

Do you understand that her "district" is an entire US state?
