Its just corruption to stay in office that long. Narcissistic corruption.

We need to stop allowing Congress to be so attractive that people never want to leave. This is ridiculous.

Needs to be a mandatory retirement age for politicians. Like pilots.

It’s such an easy life being a Congressman that there is no performance related issues that signal when it’s time to retire.

Older people including our president have a right to represent their constituents.
And accidents happen.
Many of the comments here are unenlightened at best.

Virginia, hold on to the damn handrail!
Even at home, I always hold onto the rail ascending or descending the stairs.
