Republican's Plan Would Make 52 Members of Congress Ineligible to Serve

A Republican congressman wants an age limit for politicians that would apply to presidents, vice presidents and all members of Congress.

Michigan Representative John James has introduced legislation that would amend the Constitution and prevent someone from running for office "if at any time during the term the person will be 75 years of age or older."

The resolution comes amid a wave of scrutiny, on both sides of the aisle, of some lawmakers and their ages. Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell, 81, has been a senator since 1985 and has had two speech-freezing episodes in the past two months. Democrat Dianne Feinstein, 90, who was elected in 1992, has also been a focus of concern about her health and has faced calls to step aside.

Currently, there are 36 members of the House and 16 members of the Senate who are at least 75 and would be disqualified from serving if James' proposed legislation becomes law.
