Maximum age for elected office? Please Schumer retire!

Chuck Schumer of NY is 75 years old. Early retirement is 62, full social security at 66, & At age 70 maximum retirement payout is acheived Therfore Schumer is 5 years over & will receive maximum payout Thirteen years and 6.5 senate terns above the earliest retirement age of 62.
I believe strongly representatives should not be allowed to run for elected offices when more than 1 terms (thus 6 years for the house 4 years for a president & 2 years for the senate) over the age when maximum payout can be received ; age 70, Exmple senate term is 2 years so 1 term over retirement age is 72 Schumer must be disqualified from running for any future political office in the Senate as of age 72. And possibly ousted NOW!

@Monalisasmith86 the word sounds good that’s great. The word of mouth regarding all these post-retirement politicians NOW are not good

We need TERM LIMITS! and AGE LIMITS!

@fanuc2013 As it stands, Constitutionally, each state individually decides who is or isn't eligible to represent said state. Feel free to impose term & age limits in your own state; so far no states have seen fit to do so.

Alternatively, feel free to submit a Constitutional amendment. I think you'll need to do some horse-trading to get support for a term & age limits amendment; personally, I'd go for a package that included term limits for elected office along with common-sense gun control and limits on birthright citizenship.
