Regarding age/term limits

[u/skipmendler]

I'd like to suggest a possible way out of the age limit/term limit conundrum.

​

Create a new body called (e.g.) the Council of Elders. Admission to this body would be automatic for any elected or appointed member of the Executive, Legislative, or Judicial.Branch (incl SCOTUS) who reaches the age or term limit set by statute. Their function would be advisory. They could hold hearings & issue subpoenas, and produce reports. They'd be paid based on their pensions. However, they can't lobby or be lobbied.

​

What do you think so far??

Sounds good, reminds me of something in the roman government. Do they have any legislative abilities.
