    Maybe it is a good idea to get rid of senate seats with new people. 50 years the same people might be a bit too long

        It’s not really a term limit, but here in Norway you’re not allowed to work a government job after passing 70.

        This also applies to elected officials, so hey at least we don’t have anyone over 70.

          34/100 US senators are 70 or older, with another 22 being 64-69 (potentially hitting that mark by the end of their 6 year terms, depending on when they started). The oldest two are both 89.
