It's another age-old debate involving the world of politics: should there be term limits on members of Congress? I would guess a healthy share of the electorate would support this measure. In contrast, others would argue that the “term-limit” already exists in the form of elections—we, the people, can retire an elected leader. Still, it’s not law, but if you’re a proponent of such actions, you had a banner week.
First, Joe Biden has been a serial reminder of what happens when a major party keeps someone in power who is mentally cooked. You get caught by a sidewind and blown away at the ballot box.
McConnell last week. Pelosi this week. Can we please retire legislators who are literally falling apart in front of us. https://t.co/MberCj7woi

The whole Congress has fallen and it can't get up.

The incident happened days after the elderly Mitch McConnell fell.

Then, Sen. Mitch McConnell (R-KY) tripped and fell, spraining his wrist and cutting his eye. His office said he was fine after minor injuries, though he looked rough. Now, in Europe, Rep. Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) tripped and fell down some stairs in Luxembourg at the Grand Ducal Palace, where she reportedly suffered a broken hip.
Biden has fallen. McConnell has now fallen and froze twice before the media last August, once in his home state of Kentucky and the other during a presser on the Hill.
The Kentucky Republican was asked about re-election when the first mental freeze occurred.
