Age appears to be a bigger issue then it is because there are no term limits plus they are allowed to continue as a Senator no matter how bad their health is and how it impacts their ability to do their jobs. There are rumors of Alzheimer's medication being delivered up there as an example.
But people should not be blocked simply based on age - it is important all segments of the population have the ability to represent us.
