What do you think would be a good retirement age for all elected officials?

In another thread I wrote that 65 – 67 should be the retirement age for all elected officials and I think there needs to be a medium reached of 40 to 45 to represent citizens. Especially younger folk who have more at stake for their future. I feel the disconnect in Washington is because the medium age for the Senate is in the high 60’s and 58 for the House. I think after a certain age these old men and women just don’t want to let go of power and refuse to make way for the future generations. They stay till they drop dead of old age. By the way, I’m over 60. So I’m not trying to be biased against the elderly. I’m just thinking as someone in my 60’s, my thoughts are not the same as when I was in my 20’s and 30’s or 40’s even.

As we get older our priorities change and we forget the younger ones had or have the same priorities we had at that age.
