Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell suddenly stopped speaking during a weekly Republican leadership news conference Wednesday afternoon, appearing to freeze, and then went silent and was walked away.

Term limits are needed throughout the government.
Age too.
Can’t vote for the first 18 years of your life? Alright, can’t vote for the last 18 years of your expected life then.
That would be tough to guess/enforce but how about govt-set retirement age is now the latest you can be in an elected position?
Average life expectancy is very well studied as far as I know
Problem is most people aren’t average. Especially when the have free state-of-the-art medical care like our elected officials do.
Take the median instead of the average if you prefer then 🙄
Why so grumpy? We have approximately the same idea. Just talking ideas.
My state has them and it sucks. Lobbying firms basically run the congress. Nobody there knows what the fuck they are doing so they just boost the shit that lobbyists hand them. Legislative work is a career, why is that a problem? I don’t want beginners fixing my car, why the fuck would I want a noob writing my laws?
Age limits: yes, it is time. Term limits: sound great but don’t work well.

Remember Strom Thurmond?
The difference is that the GOP will discard him immediately in order to fill his vacancy with a useful idiot unlike Feinstein who refuses to go.
He get replaced with a moderate republican. Kentucky has a democratic governor and a law that requires congressional appointments to be of the same party as the last person elected to hold that office.
