I’m good with lengthy term limits, even, but there needs to be something

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.
