Over 20% of our reps are over 70 years old last time I looked, 120 or so.

Mitch McConnell is absurdly impaired and still won't step down.

One our many problems in the USA, we are definitely long past our prime, so perhaps it's suitable that Mitch stays in office. May as well elect him as President at this point, Maxine Waters can be VP, she's almost 90.
