During the Civil War, the United States never legally recognized the Confederacy as a separate state. In that case, what was the legal status of the seats in the House of Representatives and Senate for the southern states, and were they legally able to participate in the 1864 federal election?

If the Union never recognized southern secession, then wouldn't the southern states' representation, as defined by the Constitution, still exist? If I was a Democrat or Confederate at the time, I would have argued that those seats and electoral votes must have still legally existed, and thus I would have tried to find a way to claim them. How did the US government legally justify keeping those seats and votes vacant? Is there any evidence of this issue being brought up by either side?

CMV: Term limits on the basis of age for United States elected federal representatives is not ageism, its practical and needed.

The United States needs to set term limits on the basis of age for Congress and the President.

70+ year olds are frequently regarded as unemployable due to mental decline and disconnect with the current times, but a high number of them are serving as politicians in the United States. The oldest sitting Senator, Senator Feinstein is 88 and has served since 1992. Over twenty members of the Senate are in their 70s. President Biden is 78 years old, and his health and mental prowess are the subject of continuous scrutiny. The most extreme example, Senator Thurmond, served for just short of 50 years until he passed away at 100. Currently, the average age of House members is ~58 years old and that of the Senate is ~63 years old. Contrast this with the average age of the American citizen, ~38 years old.

All too often members of Congress demonstrate their age and disconnect with the times when they must talk about social media, tech, the internet, etc. with tech giants during hearings on the Hill.

Term limits would prevent leaders from turning holding office into a career, spending upwards of 30-40 years serving in office and hanging on until they can barely function in an official capacity. Term limits would bring new and fresh perspectives into Congress. Limiting time in office would also hinder the development of permanent relationships among politicians and interest groups/lobbyists. Yes, they would still occur, but they would come to an end once the official’s term expired.

I recognize the increased turnover would lead to a larger number of politicians who are not as familiar with the legislative process as someone who has been in the office for over a decade. But wouldn’t this also provide a motivation to train their successors and offer apprenticeship/mentorship opportunities like that seen in other communities?

We have minimum age requirements for someone to serve in the House, Senate, or presidency, so why shouldn’t we create a maximum? Mandatory retirement was ended for most professions with exceptions, such as the military, pilots, and law enforcement. But does representing the U.S. as a politician require less mental prowess than flying a plane?

Any change would require a constitutional amendment, which I never see happening.

Why was Jonathan Dayton elected Speaker of the United States House of Representatives in 1794?

Judging from the Wikipedia link on the US House of Representatives elections in 1794, the Federalist Party, which Dayton was part of, was in the minority in that election. The Democratic - Republican Party had a majority over the Federalist Party, 59 - 47. So then why was Jonathan Dayton, part of the minority party, elected Speaker of the House? To my understanding, in order to be Speaker, you must have a majority in the House.
