Huh?

  I suspect that they were proposing 72 as the age limit, rather than 65. And I could see it. Airline pilots are age limited at 65 (IIUC), but judges do not make split-second unappealable decisions that can kill hundreds. They could go a bit longer than 65. OTOH, I think after seeing Biden, Trump, and McConnell, it's pretty clear that it should be some distance below 80.

    Every year you increase it increases the odds of getting another Feinstein, McConnel, Trump, or Biden. 65 is the standard target retirement age. I don't see any real benefit to deviating from that.

      So, let's make it 25. Social Security says retirement age is 67. 65 leaves a lot of good years unavailable for service in politics. I am sure a reasonable line could be drawn. And it it less than 80...
