How the hell does
#Sessions get to maintain a right to not be impugned while giving up a Senate seat for a cabinet position? -
presumably he's still a Senator unless/until he's been confirmed for something else.

Yeah but then how can a senator ever be nominated for a cabinet position if they can't be critiqued because they're a senator?
-
