BISMARCK, N.D. (AP) — North Dakota voters will decide this June whether to prevent people from running for Congress if they’re old enough to turn 81 during their House or Senate term. The oldest member of North Dakota’s three-person congressional delegation is Republican Sen. John Hoeven, at 67. North Dakota has had octogenarian senators in the past, including Democrat Quentin Burdick, who died in office in 1992 at age 84. But a test case against the age limit would need a challenge, most likely from a would-be candidate, Marisam said. Trump also has drawn questions about his mental acuity after mixing up names and making other verbal mistakes.
