Let's make this birthday one to remember.

87 years old (Born on August 01, 1937)

Happy Birthday, Senator Alfonse D'Amato! Celebrating today reminds us of your legendary days in the Senate (1981–1999), when filibustering was practically your superpower. Who else could make standing at a podium reading recipes and phone books seem like award-winning drama? You turned politics into compelling theater, and for that, we've got to tip our hats!

Beyond the iconic Senate floor moments, your tireless advocacy for New Yorkers earned you lasting respect across party lines. Today, we toast not just another candle on your cake but the lasting mark you've left behind—proving you're truly one senator whose legacy never goes out of style!
