Good question:

What exactly does a page do (officially, that is)?

What IS a "page"?

In 1981 I was in a band that played the Page's Prom. I was 21 - lots of good-looking females. This has pretty much nothing to do with this thread - it is just my "page story"

"What exactly does a page do (officially, that is)?"

Congressional staff gofers.

A college friend did that job one summer. He said they partied like hell, smoked dope at lunch and generally had a large time of themselves.

What does a page do? They are go-for's..They need to change the age to 18 or eliminate it all together, especially with the caliber of people we are sending up on the hill...from both parties.

What IS a "page"?

They're more or less "go-fer's", and have been around for as long as Congress has been around. In the electronic age, they're not needed. IMHO.
