Everyone familiar with this issue should know that it was first introduced in the 117th Congress. And hopefully most people know that unpassed bills die at the end of each Congress. The bills I referenced died at the end of the 117th Congress.
It is typical for bills that die in one session of Congress to be reintroduced in the next session. You seem to be suggesting that Nehls is the 'mastermind' of this legislation. I spent more than a couple of minutes posting the origin of this change.If you have proof to the contrary, post it rather than making baseless accusations.
I could care less what happened in the previous congress. I, and others, are only interested in what’s happening now. The origin of what’s happening now was Nehl’s last minute amendment in the T&I committee. I shouldn’t have to qualify “in Congress” with “in the present Congress”.
There’s nothing baseless to my accusations: Nehl proposed age 67 in committee which is the first attempt to do so in this congress.
