I feel the problem is less the age of the senator (or representative) and more so how they have no term limits. Why do we have people serving 30, 40, 50+ years?

The longer they serve, the more likely they are to take ~~bribes~~ lobbyist money and donations from people that don't represent their constituents.

I can understand the argument of wanting knowledgeable and experienced congressmen, but there has to be a limit when their net worth is way more than their salaries.
