It would serve the interests of both the party and the country if Pelosi, Schakowsky, and the rest of the aging veterans retired on their own initiative and used their money and experience to mentor and promote their replacements. I remember Strom Thurmond and a couple of other Senators doddering down the aisle to cast votes as they were told by their staffs and that is at least part of the reason for Congress' loss of respect. Full disclosure, I'm 74, all the parts still work, and I'm too old to be an active, effective advocate for voters who expect full-time representation.
