12,000 assholes and 421 people who are not assholes yet

Imagine desiring and pursuing power over other people's lives.

There are currently 2 people who have been there over 40 years and at least 10 people between the ages of 80-90.

That number should be a lot higher.

Once you pash a certain age threshold, you shouldn't be allowed to stand imo,

One representative for every thirty thousand, or at least implement the Wyoming Rule.

Also give the Delegate in DC a full voice, especially in light of the Wyoming Rule.

Ten years in the House and two terms (twelve years) in the Senate, or twenty years total, plus mandatory retirement at 65.

If cardinals in the Roman Catholic Church are ineligible to join a papal conclave after they're 80 (they still remain as cardinals) then it makes sense for the much newer US Congress to follow a similar guide.

Why?

Santos is the first Jew-ish one!

Because quite frankly many are living in the past and project these view points and dont have any empathy towards the current living generation and the issues they face, I understand some younger generations also don't have the necessary skills and experience to stand too but having the likes of presidents be ~80 years old seems insane to me

Don't get me wrong though this is towards both good and bad politicians whatever you're pallette prefers.

Is that why they voted in George Santos?

Pretty sure this was an argument for term limits rather than an expansion.

Why not both?
