I agree that generation isn't especially relevant here, but I do think the flip side is an interesting concern that we rarely talk about.
Biden and about 1/4 of the senate are of "the silent generation", before the boomers. Almost half of senators are over 70, which is a mandatory retirement age for various kinds of judges in several states. Around 2/3 are older than 65, the age at which the Foreign Service has its staff retire. Yes, a volatile monarch is concerning. But isn't a senator battling senility also dangerous?
