Did Diane Feinstein ever step down?

Just checked. Nope.

She's being incredibly selfish and hurting her party. I think this is going to do massive damage to her legacy.

I have nothing against term limits. But I just want to point out that term limits already exist. No one had a gun to their head to vote for McConnell. He could’ve been primaried by fellow Republicans. He’s won like 6 terms, so at least 6 times he could’ve been primaried. Kentucky voters could’ve turned to a Dem for a term to dump Mitch too. Amy McGrath was a moderate Dem with a veterans background and was at least 30 years younger. She would’ve served Kentucky voters well without probably any of the legislation that’s been passed so far.

Yeah she needs to go. She needed to go a long time ago. It’s embarrassing.

Just want to point out that he's responding to fish in regard to AGE limits for candidates.

But about term limits, I think that gives more power to bureaucrats and special interests as baby lamb politicians go looking for the infrastructure to get themselves elected for their turn. Term limits are not a restriction imposed by the people on politicians, term limits are a restriction placed on voters.

I strongly oppose term limits.

I think 65-70 is a good limit. Any age in that range.
I mean most Americans retire in that age range so it seems weird that the most important position in the world is often held by someone over the retirement age.
