    Kamala would be over 65 by term 2’s end. I think 70 is a good number but honestly I overwhelmingly agree with the sentiment. Make the max age lower and the right candidates will “magically” appear. The pecking order today sadly includes people in their 60s and 70s because we almost never elect different people for house/senate.

      we almost never elect different people for house/senate.

      Which is because of how we pick committee positions. People with longer tenures get better spots.
