That might be true, but as someone less than half that age I sure as fuck do not want a 64 year old representing me in Congress.
64 is basically ceiling in my opinion. Like my Dad was pretty good at that age and was still planning all sorts of stuff. But I agree, the future is for the young so the government should be younger. Probably a retiree representative should exist to represent old people for a couple of years at a time, but the rest of the government should be young capable people.
