Mitch McConnell escorted away from cameras after freezing during a news conference
A few minutes later, the Senate minority leader walked back to the news conference by himself.
Has the appearance of a transient ischemic attack. But apparently "he's fine"

I like this, but I'd drop the special election in favor of disqualifying candidates who would age out during their term.
Or just make it so the age is a limit for the start of their term, and if they age out, they simply can't run again.

One of the few issues where you can legit say "both parties are as bad as each other".
Half these people should be retired.
Because it isn't right vs left, it's various flavors of have vs the have nots. Just half the have nots (probably more) are stupid as shit, according to the other half. Then we just bicker while they fucking fleece our dumbasses.
Keep saying it. Everyone agrees and yet congress doesn't enact it 🤔 I'm just glad the oligarchs understand the will of the people better than us rabble!
Good idea. Much better than hard age limits as it may actually convince the boomers in charge to improve overall quality of life.
Disaster happens, child mortality goes up a lot somehow, average life expectancy plummets below 25, no one is eligible for any Senate or House office 👀

Well then the supposed Republican mission of "small government" should be accomplished!
Maybe they would've done more to prevent the sudden drop in life expectancy. Then again they would also pass any law that could extend life expectancy. Like making it illegal to pull the plug, outlawing dnr, etc.
They would pass laws and sue over how the number is calculated.
Well, then we update the law.
Already you can be removed if you are unable to carry out your duties. It is the will to do it that is lacking. I don't think tying terms to an average life expectancy is reasonable. You could have a pretty wide range across states for instance and people would constantly sue over how it should be calculated.
I think a better angle would be to just set term limits. Set them longer for congressmen if people want.
I disagree. Maybe if their grasp on power was tied to the average life expectancy in their continuency they might actually make an effort to improve it. Sure they'll sue but, I think it's worth trying.
I think most of the issues in the world right now are caused by career politicians who's only interested is getting re-elected.
