Is Congress Too Old?

In this episode of Politics in Question, Lee and James talk about the issue of gerontocracy in American politics.

Why do some people see an aging Congress as a problem? Would a maximum age limit require a constitutional amendment? Why aren’t elections enough to solve the problem? These are some of the questions Lee and James explore in this week’s episode.
