We have a lot of relatively young congressmen and senators...it doesn't really help anything. If you've ever watched CSPAN, you'd see that most congressional hearings are a joke. At the end of the day, the best thing you can do is elect officials who have integrity. A good example of this is John McCain. He may not be the sharpest tool in the shed, but I do believe that he's of the guys who has our interests at heart. Elizabeth Warren is another one.
Could you explain to me why getting the older people out of Congress would be good other than getting rid of incumbents?
You're correct. After thinking more about this issue I have come to agree with Skinned, age restrictions suck. The lower age restrictions should be removed. It would help voter turnout if younger people ran but that isn't very likely.
