I saw Strom in the Atlanta airport one day walking up and down the concourse, seemingly without a clue where he was or where he needed to be.  Was very sad to observe. 

IF it could be adminitered fairly, I think there should be a test of elected officials' cognitive abilities at and after age 75, with failure of that test being grounds for dismissal from their position.  The problem is that finding and maintaining a fair testing system is for all practical purposes impossible in the current hyper-partisan environment.  Even if one were to be created, the party of anyone booted as a result of a failed test would wail and moan that the test was unfair or improperly administered.

And a mandatory maximum age is not the answer because of folks like Chuck Grassley, who is in his 80s and unlike Fetterman and Feinsten, sharp as a tack.

I guess we are stuck with what we currently have.
