The United States Congress has been branded a 'nursing home' after Nancy Pelosi was pictured using her walking frame to get around the floor.
Heading into the 2025 session, the average age of Congress members is 79 days older than last session, at 58.9 years old.
Former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, 84, suffered a fall last month in Europe and underwent hip replacement surgery.
She used a frame on Monday when she took part in a joint session of Congress to certify the results of the 2024 presidential election.
But the striking image of that moment has sparked questions about whether people in their 80s should still be working in such crucial roles.
'Congress really has become a nursing home,' one social media user wrote.
'Term limits. That's what America demands,' another added.
The criticism comes as 78-year-old Donald Trump prepares to return to the White House as the oldest person to be elected President.

NO term limits - until there are first term limits for the permanent deep-state Government officials and programs.
At least you get to vote for your Congressman
Who ever voted for Anthony Fauci? James Comey? Rachel Walensky?
These people built their bureaucratic fiefdoms for 40 years. They shut down the USA for year, and lead a coup against an elected President. So we should give them more power by making your only elected officials 6 year tourists in Washington?
