Can we finally have a conversation about the vegetables running our country?

Starts right at 1:08 where the question is asked ... McConnell does his best Biden impersonation from a wheelchair and the commentary is chef's kiss ...
It's long past time we have a conversation about removing individuals from our government who can't function as a normal, cognitive human being ...
Discuss.

Afaik there are no cognitive requirements on elected officials.
This is overdue to be changed.
Agree requirements should also be instituted at age 60.
We have old fossils in Congress falling and breaking hips.
(Nancy Pelosi). Anybody who knows the severity of what can result from that on the true elderly, know why this should not be something that should be allowed.

If there were cognitive ability requirements about 2/3rds of Congress (and 80% of Dems) would be found ineligible to serve.

I am honestly good with that.
Fresh start, for the most part.

Easy fix is to stop voting for these people but come election time people say "we have to vote Republican or else", so these fossils continue to decay in DC.

We can converse about the vegetables in DC and the fruits Americans sent to join them

Or just do it to them all for good measure.

age 60
The Founders were in their late 50’s - early 60’s.
Ronald Reagan was 69 years old when he was inaugurated as president. He completed his presidency at the age of 77 years and 349 days.
Biden & Trump were both 77 on their inauguration days. (Trump’s 2nd)
As of the 119th Congress (2025–2026), several members are in their 80s. Here is a list of those currently serving:
Name Age Chamber Party
Hal Rogers 88 House of Reps Republican
Maxine Waters 87 House of Reps Democrat
Steny Hoyer 86 House of Reps Democrat
Nancy Pelosi 85 House of Reps Democrat
Jim Clyburn 85 House of Reps Democrat
Chuck Grassley 92 Senate Republican
Bernie Sanders 84 Senate Independent
Mitch McConnell 83 Senate Republican
Jim Risch 82 Senate Republican
Angus King 81 Senate Independent
Dick Durbin 81 Senate Democrat

I wish we had a "trustworthy" test every candidate had to take, like a Wonderlic on steroids. Say 200 questions in 48 minutes with 50 or so being extremely difficult and 50 or so being constitutional minutiae.
Given the trend is away from debating it would be nice to have a legitimate way to get a feel for a candidate's intelligence and how quick they are on their feet.

Isn’t there a competency clause for senators……….
Remove if incompetent to the extreme…..

It's the voters.
For example, Louisiana voted in 60+ year old Steve Scalise. At some point you will have to stop voting for the guy if you don't want a senior citizen in office.

Agreed whomever is allowing McConnell to serve out his term as a US Senator should ashamed and never have any job or responsibility in our government.
