Some have proposed age limits for elected officials amid concerns about America's gerontocracy.
The history of the contemporary movement for term limits largely dates back to the early 1990s, when dozens of states enacted term limits not just for their own legislatures but for their federal representatives in Washington.
"Put it this way: I'm a little more interested in term limits than age limits," Democratic Rep. Jamie Raskin of Maryland told Insider.
"There's a logic to term limits, because the principle of democracy is taking turns," Raskin, 59, said.
"If there were to be term limits, the legislature certainly should have more terms than the executive," he offered.
