Frankly, right now it is majority Dems, but the Republicans have had theirs, too.

Term limits would solve the problem without barring the old and wise from serving

SR Kenneth Beck
Capt. Jack,
We have term limits, it’s called elections. People hate congress but love their congressman.
Subsidiarity, an element of Catholic social doctrine, holds that what can be done at a lower level in a social system shouldn't be done at a higher one. If a state wants term limits; just don’t make a federal case out of it. I'm a small government guy.
Jonathan Grubers (the so-called architect of Obama Care) admonishment “The average voter is stupid”. Was he correct?

It seems I have read this logic before, Chief Beck. It may fit in some cases, but I refuse to believe most people love their congressman. Rather, I believe many of those voters are too lazy to look at their representative's voting record/record of achievement. They merely vote for a name they recognize.

Both sides struggle with this. Congress should look in the mirror on this one

Aging is one more problem that could be solved by enacting term limits!
