He should be forced to step down.
Just think if Ruth Ginsburg and Biden had been forced to step down when they should have the Democrats would have saved themselves a lot of unnecessary pain.
Old people in public office are often very selfish. I suppose Grassley gets a gold plated medical & benefits package few Americans can ever hope to get.
democRATs have to set an example FIRST! Until then, Grassley can stay in till he's 301 as far as I'm concerned. Besides, at 91, he's 10X as mentally functional as Pelosi or FJB! If the voters want him, the voters should have him. NO TERM LIMITS EVER!!!!!!!!
Oh, and liberal protesters should be machine gunned down.

The only thing Ruth ever did right was stick around to just the right time to die
That was so awesome.

God, I'm going to hate myself, but you do raise some good points.

I used to think this way. I felt that term limits were an admission that we are too fucking stupid to not elect old pieces of shit.
Sadly, over the years, I have come to the conclusion that the average American is, in fact, too dumb to not vote that way. Therefore, I further concluded that term limits are desperately needed in order to break the decades long rule some of these ancient pieces of shit have enjoyed and will continue to enjoy in the absence of term limits.
Elected officials need to know who they're working for a change.

I do understand where you're coming from but fuk America to death if they cant figure it out on their own. Besides, if we would vote to keep some dead brain zombie in office, what makes anyone think our next choice, especially if its forced, would be any better?

Grassley is just as bad as the rest of them...Lokmar!
All the old codgers should step down max age 75.
Anyway yer tax dollars are paying for their glorified retirement plans Lokmar. And they get massive pensions after they leave.
If I could be dictator of Canada & the United States for 1 day I'd axe pensions & entitlements for ALL politicians.
I read that after he stepped down, Harry Truman had to get a job after he was no longer President. That's the way it should be for all of them.
They receive 6 figure salaries while in office so if they can't save put enough money for retirement in office why should they get any more.
These politicians are robbing us blind in both countries Lokmar!

I think the key is to avoid career politicians who can game the system to enrich themselves and their cohorts. I also think that term limits are an appropriate way to mitigate this. We have them for POTUS, why not for Congress?
People are not getting any smarter, so putting our hopes in their ability to not vote for assholes is probably unwise.
I say 5 terms for representatives and 3 terms for senators. It kicks them out before they become a real pain in the ass. Can anyone here truly stomach possibly several decades of AOC?
Yeah, I thought so.
