Interesting question. I Don't know of a neutral or female word for "statesman". I'd like us to get to the point where the word "men" means human....but I doubt that will happen any time soon.

I must admit, I am just as appalled by Biden's word finding issues as I was by Trump's. Not thinking of the occasional stutter. Thinking of the times when he clearly just derails and loses his train of thought. Age limit for President and Congress, please!!!!!
