The move would extend her 36-year House career and continue to freeze her would-be California successors in a long-standing holding pattern.

    It’s time for nationwide term limits. You get to serve your term and do what you’d like, then give the reins over to the next person. Sick of all these fucking old ghouls who cling onto their positions of power like it’s a fucking philosophers stone for them.

      I’d be ok with at least an age cap. No one can run after they’re 65. Leave governing to those who will be alive to see the impact of their policies.

        The problem with an age cap is that us younger generations are going to be the first beneficiaries of life extension medicine. We’d need to remove/raise the age cap almost immediately.

        I fully expect some of my generation to break 120 and still be as spry as a 40 year old. We’ll be the outliers and guinea pigs, but I view the potential benefits as worth it.
