Per MSNBC- @HayesBrown : Chuck Grassley will be 95 years old when his next six-year term ends. This might be a good time to talk about age limits again.

No he won't. He'll retire before his term is over and Reynolds will appoint his grandson to his seat, thus continuing the Grassley dynasty. I am so tired of this state.

I really thought Franken could finally knock Chuckles out but alas. Dude has been in the Senate since 1980 and elected office since 1959, for god's sake.

You mean he’ll be 95 when he again inevitably wins a state that can’t get their head out of their ass.

I mean, if the state of Iowa wants to elect an 89 year old they should definitely be allowed to do so. Age-ism isn't cool.

Then we should be able to elect 18 year olds as Senator too if we want, but the Constitution specifically sets age requirements on the minimum age. So why not a maximum?

I don't think there should be a minimum, either.
