Former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, 84, was seen moving with difficulty in a video posted online on Thursday, following a hip replacement surgery after a fall in Luxembourg late last year. While her staff maintains she is recovering well, the video reignited discussions about the advanced age of lawmakers and the potential for term or age limits in Congress. This comes amid reports of former Senate GOP leader Mitch McConnell, who also recently fell and was seen using a wheelchair due to lingering effects from polio. McConnell’s health issues, along with similar concerns about Pelosi and the late Sen. Dianne Feinstein, have prompted online commentary questioning the suitability of elderly lawmakers remaining in office.
