As far as I'm concerned like you said, they are elected to a FULL term. Calling out sick or for another pursuit is still not acceptable to me. Quitting or resignation, seems to be a bit more honorable since as you say, elected to a full term and if you'd like to pursue other interests be it home life or higher office... but that's you opinion versus mine.

According to washingtonpost.com's U.S. Congress Votes Database, Obama has missed 74 out of 93 roll-call votes (79.6%) since the end of the August congressional recess. McCain has missed 63 out of 93 roll-call votes (67.8%) since the end of the August congressional recess. But for the entire year, McCain has missed 79 more votes than Obama; since January, McCain has missed 212 out of 403 (52.6%) roll-call votes in the 110th Congress, while Obama has missed 133 out of 403 (33.0%) roll-call votes.
