Let's make this birthday one to remember.

68 years old (Born on March 13, 1957)

Happy Birthday, Senator Hoeven! From your days steering North Dakota as the 31st governor into economic growth, to now proudly championing the state's voice in Washington since 2011, you've certainly earned your cake (and hopefully a day off from filibusters).

Your legacy is clear—balancing budgets like a pro and pushing boundaries (or at least legislation!) for energy independence. Thanks for proving that consistent good work can still happen amidst chaos. May your celebration be bipartisan and your happiness universal today—not exactly Senate norms these days—because even hardworking politicians deserve applause and laughter on their special day!
