The man who's never had a thought in his head that wasn't stamped "Made in the DNC," spent 36 years in the Senate and 8 years as Vice President, before ascending to Olympus to sit with the gods.
Members of Congress receive $174,000 annually - more for certain leadership positions.
Members of Congress also get benefits, like an allowance for their staff - who do most of the real work, like actually reading the bills.
A Congressman can retire on full pension at age 62, after as little as five years of service.
The average age of members of the Second Continental Congress, which adopted the Declaration of Independence, was 44, while more that a dozen were under 35.
The average age of members of the 117th Congress is 58.4 years for House members and 64.3 years for Senators.
With honorable exceptions, Mark Twain had it right when he said: "Suppose you were an idiot, and suppose you were a member of Congress, but I repeat myself."
