Joe Biden is just one year away from 80. He was answering to “Senator Biden” before I could vote.
Nancy Pelosi has turned 81. She’s been in Congress for more years than my eldest son has been on this planet. She entered Congress before the “World Wide Web” went live.
Chuck Schumer slouches like he’s spent too many years playing bingo at Leisure World. He’s the baby of the three — at 71.
Do you think being older is a negative thing? Of course not, but the Founders didn’t intend or envision Federal governance being in the liver-spotted hands of people 80 or closing in on 80.
Without having plastic “work done,” all three would resemble an “On Golden Pond” reunion. Henry Fonda played a cognitively impaired old man in the movie. It was shot at 75, when he was still alive.
Joe Biden could look just like Mr Smithers if he didn’t have hair caps and plugs. Artificially bleaching his teeth has caused snowblindness. There are no brain transplants to help Joe in his golden years’ decline. He’s a wreck. He’s walks like a Team America puppet and cannot get through a speech without stepping on his tongue.
Pelosi seems worse to me. If she didn’t have her hair dyed, and her face lifted bi-annually, she’d resemble a blue-hair screaming at the grandkids to get off her plastic lawn chairs. Recent public appearances have been saddening and tragic. Now, her primary language is gibberish. Schumer, while in a more positive mental state than Biden and Pelosi, is still an idiot. Fortunately, he’s constrained by President Manchin.
America has been in precarious shape due to three men with an average age of 231 who have combined cognitive decline and the control of two branches government. This was impossible without term limits. Pelosi can run in San Francisco as a dead man and win. It’s possible to make your own joke.
Fifteen states have term limits, and it hasn’t helped rid us career politicians. Even though California is indigo-blue, it has term limits. However professional politicians manage California. After being termed out from one office, they can go on to the next. Once termed out of a seat, they can run for another. It’s like trying to rid a building of cockroaches. They just move to another room — unless you step on them or fumigate.
Washington, D.C., has the solution. They have term limits. These are limits to how many years a person may serve. You can place a time limit. There are enough years to be a Congressman for twenty-five years. Representatives could run for 10 terms. It could grant senators three terms.
A person can’t serve more than two terms as president. That’s already in place via the 22nd Amendment. If we had federal term limits we’d be rid of Pelosi, Schumer, and Biden.
Yes, even Biden. Obama wouldn’t have selected him as his VP. Biden wouldn’t have been out Federal government had Bush 41 finished his term. Biden would’ve been FormerObama is not going to use Senator Biden. He also wouldn’t have been able to peddle influence. Maybe Hunter wouldn’t have been peddling his dad’s cache, and instead would have been painting Elvis on velvet for $20 a crack (pun intended)
Unfortunately, there will be no term limits. As with the president’s limits, the amendment would be required. I’m not sure a statute would suffice, and there is little chance that the clowns running the federal government would “vote themselves out.” They are too used to sucking on the federal teat.
New blood is needed. Five SEALs and one former SEAL are seeking to run for Congress. That number doesn’t include Dan Crenshaw, who’s already in Congress. There are many more veterans in Congress. Maybe those who have seen and served war might keep us safe from more wars. The neocons may be kicked out. Maybe in 10 or 20 years, we’ll have enough new blood in D.C., so that they will be willing to amend the Constitution.
Pelosi will vote in opposition. She’ll be a spry 101 and on her 58th facelift.
