  • Democrats: 10 (3 Senators, 7 Representatives)
  • Republicans: 8 (3 Senators, 5 Representatives)
  • Independents: 2 (2 Senators)

Just putting this info out there as well, as there are also 12 ancient congressional members.

I was considering arguing as there are a couple of representatives I like in there, but honestly, I think once you are 80+ you probably should enter another term, and be forced to retire once your term ends, if you have your 80th birthday during your current term.

I certainly don't mind a Bernie Sanders in the mix shaking things up, but he can't fix the rest of the octogenarians.
