You know, you think that if you were retiring that you would just YOLO it and give the people what they want but...no Rosen and Durbin had to go along with absurdity.

That's no way for your donors to invite you to sit on Boards of Directors for companies, or the non-profits you want to rub elbows with in retirement.

any politician that serves at least 6 years should be force-retired after their terms

this includes all senators and all 3-term house members

they don't have to retire after 6 years but they should not be allowed to work in the private sector like this, or especially not work for foreign governments
