Would you support a mandatory retirement age of 75 for US House, US Senate & US Supreme Court Justices and if not why?

Absolutely. Maybe younger. Politicians shouldn't be able to vote on issues that will have major effects that they won't have to live through. I also think we should disenfranchise people <average life expectancy> minus 18 years. Give politicians a reason to support policies that increase public health to increase the voting age.
That comes out to around 62. And forbidding seniors from voting is a great way to have them be exploited more than they already are.
They vote for shit that won't affect them that we have to clean up (or potentially die). I'm ok with them getting fucked back a little.
That's not how that works. The seniors being exploited are not the well retired ones with the free time and health to go vote. And what happens when we become seniors? Are we to be punished for the sins of a particular subset of one generation?
