New Law Would Force Aging Members of Congress to Take Cognitive Tests

According to the Pew Research Center, the median age of a sitting US congressperson currently stands at 64.7 years old. Though Baby Boomers - which Pew defines as the generation born between 1946 and 1964 - no longer have the monopoly on congressional seats they once did, they still hold 60 of the 99 Senate seats. This demographic reality raises concerns about whether older lawmakers are able to keep pace with rapidly evolving policy issues.
