    no. bernie is a great example of why age is no restriction to being a good politician. you people have to stop trying to use goose and gander legislation to stop conservatives. you stop conservatives by STOPPING CONSERVATIVES.

    Let’s do it slightly differently, let’s make the mandatory retirement age for political office the median life expectancy age for the entire country. If the politicians, etc can manage to make everyone live longer, they can hold office longer.

    Similarly, take away their separate and different medical coverage and put them on the same Medicare system everyone else in the country has to use.

      I think they should also be paid using their state’s disability/unemployment system and get food through their state’s EBT system.
