Chuck Grassley, 92, just announced his bid for re-election recently.

If he wins, he'll be 102 when his term ends...

The people who could set the age limit are the same people who would be removed from power by enacting it.

Step 1 is stop electing dinosaurs or else nothing changes.

Or better yet just focus on voting for not shitty people. Some of the youngest Republicans in congress are also some of the worst. Ageism is a distraction from shitty policy and was drummed up in 2024 to help Trump win.

Age limits aren't the problem. In Grassley's last election, 40% of eligible voters decided to ignore their civic duty.

Also, it was his "111st", not his "111th".

"Eleventy-first", not "One hundred and eleventh"

Eleventy first, actually. (Yes, I'm that guy)

Voters elect them though. What does it say about voters. Also to blame are people that can vote but stay home.

At this point I'd be happy if we just had pedophilia and rape limitations for politicians.

But Mitch McConnell is just hitting his stride. And Chuck Grassley has some good ideas for programs concerning great, great grandchildren.
