About this Blog

During the semester, I shall post course material and students will comment on it. Students are also free to comment on any aspect of American politics, either current or historical. There are only two major limitations: no coarse language, and no derogatory comments about people at the Claremont Colleges. This blog is on the open Internet, so post nothing that you would not want a potential employer to see. Syllabus: http://gov20h.blogspot.com/2023/08/draft-introduction-to-american-politics.html

Government of Grandpas

The President (71 years old) and Congress (around 6o year old average) are not the only old people in the US government. "More than a quarter of federal employees are now older than 55." (http://www.politico.com/agenda/story/2017/09/27/aging-government-workforce-analysis-000525)



How can we make the demographics of our government more representative of the people in the US?
