  1. They are too old to still be alive let alone serve in government.

  2. 2 terms max. About the time they are fully corrupt they can no longer serve. Nancy Pelosi is the prime example for corrupt. Mitch is an example or cognitive decline.

  3. Does the US really need to even ask that question? Theyre running the country, not a monarchy

  4. Age limits are just the start. Term limits are needed. Also, younger people can get Alzheimerzs, so transparency is crucial regarding health conditions.

  5. It’s A DISGRACE To See Mitch McConnell Stand There In Front Of MILLIONS Of People Having PETIT MAL SEIZURES!!! Politics Aside… AS A HUMAN BEING
    Whyyyyy Is His WIFE ALLOWING THEM TO DO THAT TO HIM! Nancy Regan Would Have NEVER Allowed Them To Do That To Her Husband! Where Is THE EMPATHY And Compassion. Feinstein Can’t Complete A Sentence, Joe Is Falling All The Time. It’s TRULY SAD!😮🇺🇸

  6. Your videos are like a breath of fresh air in the crowded YouTube space.

  7. I think the typical retirement age would be fine.

  8. Yes. Start with Joe Biden now!
    Pretty please

  9. Age limits for all American oligarchs! ✊

  10. Yes, and Supreme Court appointments should be ten years or less.

  11. I think it's about that time we did. 😂

  12. It can happen at any age. Term limits are needed. Stop electing the dinosaurs and curb the corruption.

  13. Get this walking corpse out of my government!

  14. Speaker/GOP/Republicans
    rest of Traitor,check there Salary there stuff there pockeds full and there buddies only for the rich ,no help for the once in need

  15. Yes he needs to scadattle up out the office and go home and rest

  16. I think 65 years should be the right age for all positions , specially not older there get more then enough salary what we the people have to pay

  17. There should be Age limits and certain time limits and also you should not be able take the Senator seat over per Heritage is wrong another thing gerrymandering needs to be stopped on both sides it is enough with all your his illegal corrupted Traitors from GOP/ Republicans 145 Traitors all took an Oath and broke it

  18. There is such thing as a stupid question.

  19. I'm more concerned about IQ minimums…..for the voters!!!!

  20. Yes I think McConnell is proving that point rn☝🏼.

  21. I think that since we have a 2 & 1/2 term limit (or 10 year maximum) for the President in The U.S. Constitution & a majority of State Governors also have term limits, we should have term limits for all members of The House (I think 10, 2 year terms), The Senate (3, 6 year terms), & The Judiciary (at most 20 years). I think this is the only way to prevent complicity in our federal government by constantly changing it.

  22. There should be an age limit but a years you can serve. No more then 12 years and to the age of 75. which ever comes first. McConnell has to go. It’s been twice that he spaced out. He’s been there for over 37 years. Time to go

  23. I'm a big fan of term limits. One term in office; one term behind bars.

  24. Old Age= Inebriated In Elizir Of Old Age.
    Causing:
    1) Slurred Speech
    2) Crippled Walk
    3) Incoherent Thinking

  25. Yes age 72…after that decline and help mind.. body look our now President he has a double so he can stay office

  26. Yes, if the president can only do two term ppl in congress should have a term.
