Default USA:Nancy Pelosi stands down as leader of US House Democrats

[Nancy Pelosi, who has led Democrats
in the US House of Representatives
for almost two decades,
has announced she is standing down
from the role.

The 82-year-old is the most powerful
Democrat in Congress and the first woman
to serve as speaker of the House.
She will continue to represent her California
district in the lower chamber of Congress.

It comes as Republicans are projected
to take back control of the House following
the midterm elections.]

the 3 top democrats (excluding Biden) are all in their 80's. They have been stifling the progress of many in the party with their stranglehold, so it's not before time

She's been a formidable character.
Good luck to her.

In some ways she looks like she's constantly resisting the urge to crumble away into a pillar of dust and get swept away by a gust of wind ... but really, she could pass for a 60-something.

She's so old that "you could be sixty!" is a compliment
