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!

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.
