      Don't erode your formidable legacy as a first in many ways @SenFeinstein. Time to go.https://twitter.com/NewYorker/status/1336877322784419842 …

      Several sources inside the Senate say Dianne Feinstein, who is 87, struggles to remember briefings just after they take place—and that her cognitive decline has been evident for several years. @JaneMayerNYer reports. http://nyer.cm/1imoHCK

      I wonder if any other country struggles as much to both gently ease elderly people out of positions of power, and in so doing have that change be one of celebration, not humiliation.

      The only one that comes to mind is the Vatican. Other than that there was the USSR pre-Gorbachev.

          Canada's Senate and Supreme Court both have mandatory retirement ages of 75.

          I also think NY’s high court has a mandatory retirement age of 70. “The Court of Appeals consists of a Chief Judge and six Associate Judges. Each judge serves a term of 14 years or until the end of the calendar year in which he or she reaches age 70, whichever occurs first”
