People talk about term limits and age limits but they mean “for the other guy” not for “our guy”. They can’t win the elections so look at other ways to remove “that guy” failing to realize that the "new guy will be the same as the old guy?.
We have the power to limit term limits—just stop voting for the same people over and over again. Vote for somebody new after a person has served for about 12 years or so.
Term limits are indeed difficult when the people who can impose them are the very ones who don’t want to leave. But they sure are needed to save this Country. Term limits would take care of the age thing too.
You don’t want young people running things. They are pro-abortion, pro-gay rights, pro civil rights, all in for fighting climate change, They more supportive of AOC than the RNC,
Once upon a time there was a draft so the USA could force 18-year-olds into uniform to go and fight for the interests of corporations – but they could not vote until they were 21-years-old (if they weren’t killed by then). This was fixed and now 18-year-olds can vote. But we have no draft. So RAISE the voting age back to 21, unless or until we restore the draft.
While we’re at it, expand the selective service notification requirement to females . . .

We could start by eliminating the MAGA portion of the GOP. That would at least get rid of the mental deficient and raise the overall IQ dramatically.

Any limits at all are contrary to the constitution. Not that I’m oposed in principle.

If they did that, there’d be very few Republicans left to run aside from the unhinged Q-Anon Qrazies and White Supremacists.

Biden is 79. Trump will be 78 in Jan. 2024. Adolph doesn’t mind that.

The problem with the advantages of age is that they’re not apparent until you get there. Wisdom is one of them, and it’s a real thing.

The bribe money is too good for them to quit.
It’s so obvious that an aging congress can’t get anything decent passed…they’re still living in the past…..
It’s embarrassing to say the least. Hanging on to the last shred of decency no longer applies…
Greed, power, deciet,LIES…is their platform!
They were elected, and keep on getting elected to serve them selves and not constituents they were voted in for.

If it would apply to Congress, The Supreme Court, and the presidency I would accept.

I’m getting concerned. I’ve actually agreed with Al three times in the last month.

Anyone else remember “Wild in the Streets”? Kinda silly movie from long ago, but had a catchy political theme, “Never trust anyone over 30!”

never use to be for term limits, but its something that would force more change, I now think its probably needed, or just a forced retirement age
