前不久,在美国佛罗里达州,已经成为曾曾祖父的101岁的老人乔·纽曼在个人网站上宣布将首次竞选11月举行的美国国会众议院议员。在美国,国会议员法定最低年龄为25岁,但在纽曼看来,高龄是他的优势,他“所积累的经验超过所有竞选者”。目前,美国国会最高龄的议员为90岁。 Not long ago, Joe Newman, a 101-year-old man who had become a great-grandfather in Florida, announced on his website that he would run for the first time for the U.S. House of Representatives in November. In the United States, the minimum legal age for members of parliament is 25, but in Newman’s perspective, seniority is his advantage and he “has accumulated more experience than all his candidates.” At present, the oldest member of the U.S. Congress is 90 years old.
