Has there ever been a clearer case of a Gerontocracy than post-2020 America? It's just shown that evidently being a president, senator, supreme court justice, etc. is just as hard or easy as you want to make it. They all just have their aids doing everything and give thumbs up or thumbs down as things are brought in front of them. RBG was 87 and Feinstein was 90 years old as a sitting Senator from the most populous state in the union.

This goes for both sides of the aisle, obviously. McConnell is 82 years young

The Catholic Church, which, say what you will, knows a thing or two about longevity and running an organization, makes Cardinals submit their resignations at age 75. Pope has discretion to let them keep serving, as needed

It shouldn't even be controversial that there needs to be term limits.

Maybe even repeal the 17th if we want to go crazy.
