Let's make this birthday one to remember.

95 years old (Born on June 11, 1930)

Happy Birthday, Congressman Rangel! You've spent decades mastering the art of candor and charm in politics—proving that honesty can indeed be hilarious. From your groundbreaking role as the first African-American Chair of the powerful House Ways and Means Committee to championing policies with wit and wisdom, you've shown us all how it's done.

Your legendary geniality has brightened Capitol Hill for over forty years; even political opponents can't resist cracking a smile at your candid remarks. Here's wishing you another year filled with laughter, success—and perhaps fewer committee meetings! Keep inspiring us by proving age is just a number (and humor never retires).
