How long should someone be allowed to stay in Congress?

Five years? Ten years? Forty-five?

In this episode of Seasoned & Unfiltered, Steveo digs into the debate around congressional term limits, the age gap between Washington and the rest of America, and whether career politicians were ever what the Founding Fathers had in mind.

Right now the median age of Americans is 38, but the average age in Congress is nearly 60 in the House and over 64 in the Senate. Some lawmakers have served 30, 40, even 45 years in office. Is that experience… or is that a system that never rotates new ideas in?

Steveo breaks down the numbers, the history behind why the Constitution never included term limits, and the reality behind one of the biggest myths people believe about Congress — that members leave office and collect their full salary for life. (Spoiler: they don’t.)

Then in true Seasoned & Unfiltered fashion, the episode ends with a spicy take from the spice rack about modern communication and why your 15-person group chat might actually be the death of real friendships.

Politics, facts, sarcasm, and a little social commentary — exactly the way Seasoned & Unfiltered likes to do it.
