I just read Chuck Grassley filed for reelection. If he wins, he'd be 101 at the end of his term. The last 10 years have really highlighted the need for age restrictions on elected office. It's not just one side of the political aisle, it's all sides.
If you're being pushed out by your staff in a wheelchair, are non verbal and being told how to vote, are you really representing you constituents?
