Maxine Waters Refuses To Back Age Limits For Congress In Capitol Exchange

Wasserman then returned directly to the age issue, asking whether there should be an age limit for the presidency

Waters again rejected the premise. “People should be evaluated and thought of in terms of what they do,” she said.

He pressed further, asking whether even a hypothetical 100-year-old “fighter” should still be allowed to serve in office.

The people should evaluate who should be in office with their vote, and that’s it,” she said

The exchange comes as age remains a growing issue in national politics, with questions about the age and health of elected officials frequently surfacing across both parties.

At 87, Waters is among the oldest serving members of Congress, though several lawmakers in both the House and Senate are well into their 70s and 80s, The New York Post reported.
