Let's make this birthday one to remember.

72 years old (Born on March 26, 1953)

Happy Birthday, Lincoln Chafee! You've navigated political parties like a pro surfer riding waves—Republican Senator one day, Independent Governor the next. Your ability to switch lanes gracefully is truly impressive and keeps Rhode Island politics delightfully unpredictable.

From championing bipartisan cooperation in the Senate to boldly stepping into governorship as an independent voice, your career has been anything but ordinary. Here's hoping this birthday brings you more adventures—and perhaps fewer party switches—but always plenty of laughs along the way. Cheers to another year of keeping everyone guessing what's next on your agenda!
