the line of succession as he will no longer be the longest serving Republican in the Senate (or is it the longest serving Senator period, I forget)

So if POTUS, VPOTUS and Speaker are all gone, we wouldn't have to worry about the new guy, Republican or not becoming POTUS.

Regardless, it also takes all of the Senate Seniority away from that particular seat. Losing seniority means that state loses a little clout.
