Amid ethics charges, Charlie Rangel, Democratic Representative from New York, celebrated his 80th birthday. Rangel, a house veteran of 20 years, plans to start his campaigning soon. The question is, should there be a required retirement age for senators and representatives? My answer is no. And my reason is, instead there should be term limits. Serving as a senator or representative was never meant to be a full time job for a life time. Serve your country for two or three terms and then get out! Becoming ingrained in the system leads to corruption and, as you can see, ethics problems.
