Let's make this birthday one to remember.

88 years old (Born on September 05, 1936)

Happy Birthday, Alcee L. Hastings! From the courtroom to Congress, you've certainly kept life interesting. Who else could turn a judicial impeachment into a stepping stone toward decades of public service? Your resilience is legendary—talk about bouncing back with style!

In all seriousness, your tireless advocacy and dedication in the House since 1993 have made lasting impacts on civil rights and social justice. You've championed causes with passion and humor, proving that even politicians can have charisma (who knew?). Here's wishing you another year filled with laughter, success, and fewer impeachments—because let's face it: once was enough!
