The root word of senator used to mean old man (1 Viewer)

Back in classical Latin. I guess in a way the US has more or less retained that meaning

Obama was 43 when he was sworn into the US Senate and 51 when he became president. There will never be any truly young senators in the US, as the constitutionally mandated minimum age is 30; for example, Maxwell Frost (D-Florida 10) won't be eligible until next year.

There’a a difference between young vs not old. I personally would probably consider any senator under 55 to be not old. Honestly, I even consider Kennedy to be a young president and he was in his 40s when sworn in.
