Maybe we need an AGE limit for members of Congress too. How old is Biden, 63? Not too old but he first got elected in 1972. He and too many others believe they should hold these seats for life. Many members are in their 70s and 80s.

I would go with an age limit, albeit reluctantly.

You know, considering their retirement benefits, why DON'T they retire?

Ah yes, they wore out their welcome in "red" states and have to maintain power (for example: Byrd)

No, what we need is a Constitutional Amendment that limits House and Senate terms to two. That is the only way to fix Washington.
