"pretty ridiculous some of these people are still in office "
That is due to how the system operates, based on party and seniority. I know people on both sides that would rather vote for a 90 year old of their party than vote for a younger person of the other party.

BTW, I support term limits and age limits, but I know we will never agree enough to pass a Constitutional amendment to get it done.

SGT (Join to see) - Age 100% should be a determining factor. There's an age minimum to run for office. For POTUS, you have to be at least 35 years old so if age isn't a determining factor let's just let 20 year olds run for President right?

Then for Congress, Representatives have to be at least 25 years old and US citizen for 7 years and registered voter in their state (not even in their district they run in just the state). For Senate, min 30 years of age, 9 years US citizen, residency in the state at time of election.

Like every elected office at the federal level it's bare minimum to run.

I think if you in a regular job retire at 67, then that's when a member of Congress should be forced to retire. I mean there's no way to avoid MTGs or Bobbleheads - I mean Boeberts - if that's who people want to elect. That just means there needs to be stronger opposition to run against them.

Term limits will never happen unless SCOTUS overturns their ruling that declared them unconstitutional OR an amendment is passed. I don't see either of those happening ever.

MSG Stan Hutchison - Either SCOTUS overturns their ruling making them unconstitutional or an amendment, which neither will happen.

I'm just saying if you cognitively can't function...that's a security risk for one. With all the access they have to classified...I told people that Feinstein needs to retire after I saw her come back from her 3 months off for medical issues. JFC she looks like she can't hold herself up AND someone asked her how she liked 3 months off. "I wasn't gone for 3 months." LIke woman what? You most definitely were.

When people's cognitive functions are slipping, they definitely need to step down.

PO1 William "Chip" Nagel I tend to agree with you.
