They make Airlines Pilots Retire @ 65. Good, it is good for them it is good for the Senate. Their is a top Doctor in the MI who is No.1 in his field, I heard he gave up surgery and is now teaching only as when you reach 72ish the hands aren't as steady anymore.
65, 72, somewhere in between, if it is good for careers with lives in their hands, it is good enough for the Senate.
Would McCain let an 81 yo surgeon operate on him?
He probably wouldn’t trust the motor skills. Yet we literally allow these people to LEGISLATE to us, and some of them are clearly addled.
The pic of McCain slapping his head at a townhall might be a clue as to how he got a blood clot! J/k, sounds like there are implied concerns of whether this could be a tumor/metastasis that bled.
Surgeons who retire due to hands no longer being steady enough are still possessed of clinical knowledge and judgement, therefore can teach. I’m not in favor of age limits for professions except where the body itself is required to be in top condition.

It isn’t supposed to be a career
