Reply to comment by soonerpgh in TIL that 3 of the 5 most recent U.S. presidents were all born within months of each other, 4/5 in the same decade by wizeowlintp
The house actually got younger with the most recent election. It tends to go in waves. It takes a while to get enough credibility to get elected Senator, which is why the median age is 59. I wouldn't say that is a ridiculous age. There are of course outliers that should retire, but on the whole Congress isn't all extremely elderly.

Isn’t the median age of senators 65? That’s considerably higher than 59.
