Should There Be Age and Term Limits for Congress?

Should there be age or term limits for Congress?

Mitch McConnell just returned to Congress after 93 days away due to medical reasons. There are many similar examples of this happening, which has brough the question of age limits to the forefront.

In this episode, I go through what the true cost has been. Polling shows that 85% of Americans want term limits. It is not often Americans agree on something with such a big majority!

I also make the case that experience in Congress comes at a price, and that the price is usually principle. I take the arguments on the other side seriously — voters should get to pick who represents them, and the staffers and lobbyists are a real problem term limits wouldn't touch.

Then the harder question. If term limits are this popular, who is actually going to pass them?
