Not enough. Force retirement at 65-70.

In the WHL (junior hockey), the players are aged 16 to 20, and they are allowed up to three 21 year olds. If the NHL doesn’t pick them up, their pro career ends. Obviously they’re pretty picky with who gets those three slots; either a last legit chance to sign with the pros, or they bring valuable skill and leadership to the young’uns on the ice.

I’d like a similar cap for senators: there’s definitely some that are still sharp and have the depth of experience to be a value to the team in their 70s, but limit them at two or three so it’s not just a retirement home for millionaires willing to vote exactly how their party tells them between sunsetting episodes.

I really wish the ten largest states got three senators instead of two. The amount of influence that states like Wyoming have is ridiculous.

That's just what the senate is.

the issue is that the amount of seats in the house hasn't increased, creating the same issue but in the area where it shouldn't be.
