Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell suddenly stopped speaking during a weekly Republican leadership news conference Wednesday afternoon, appearing to freeze, and then went silent and was walked away.

        Can’t vote for the first 18 years of your life? Alright, can’t vote for the last 18 years of your expected life then.

          That would be tough to guess/enforce but how about govt-set retirement age is now the latest you can be in an elected position?

      My state has them and it sucks. Lobbying firms basically run the congress. Nobody there knows what the fuck they are doing so they just boost the shit that lobbyists hand them. Legislative work is a career, why is that a problem? I don’t want beginners fixing my car, why the fuck would I want a noob writing my laws?

      Age limits: yes, it is time. Term limits: sound great but don’t work well.
