Age and term limits


This.

80 needs to be the cutoff age, Congress, President and Supreme Court.

Mitch just forgot which party he belongs to. It's common among the upper echelon of Senate Republicans.

Reagan was 76 at the end, and we’re witnessing an 80 year old President right now. Plus it’s a round number.

I’d agree to that as well.

Fox would be covering this very differently had the same thing happened to Biden or Trump. But duh, water is wet.

People keep voting him in. Unless they can't they'll just keep doing it.


Name recognition is huge in politics. The people around him are the ones who do not want introduce a new candidate because it is too risky.

His surrounding employees do not want to lose their jobs so they keep pushing who most voters are familiar with.

About the only "job" I know of where seemingly 90% don't retire and are working into their late 80s.


We shouldn’t even be using language like “retire” when describing elected representatives.

I know power and money is practically addicting, but I just don’t get why some of these politicians stay in office long enough to get to the point where they can’t get around comfortably and become more prone to issues like this.

The Governor of KY is a Democrat. Turtle's not going anywhere. They'll be rolling him out in a body bag.

They’re all too old but they don’t know how to exist without attention.

A McConnell aide said that the senator “felt light headed and stepped away for a moment.”

“He came back to handle Q and A, which as everyone observed was sharp,” the aide said.

As he left the Capitol, the Senate Republican leader told reporters he was “fine” and said he had spoken with President Joe Biden. “So, the president called to check on me. I told him I got sandbagged,” he said, smiling, in reference to a quip Biden made after tripping over a sandbag early last month.

Asked repeatedly how he was feeling and whether he would be speaking to a doctor, McConnell said: “I’m fine.”

He returned to the Capitol Wednesday evening for late votes but did not answer any questions about his health upon arrival.

House Speaker Kevin McCarthy earlier told reporters that he was not concerned about McConnell’s health and said he had met with him after the press conference for “a regular meeting.”

McConnell, 81, has faced questions over his health after suffering a concussion and broken ribs from a fall he endured earlier this year. He was hospitalized and forced to go to rehab for several weeks before returning to the Senate in the spring.
