Summary

Former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, 84, fractured her hip after a fall down a marble staircase in Luxembourg during a Congressional visit marking the 80th anniversary of the Battle of the Bulge.

Pelosi, who was hospitalized but remains alert and working, plans to return to the U.S. soon.

The incident, coupled with recent falls by other aging lawmakers like Sen. Mitch McConnell, has renewed calls for Congressional term limits.

Pelosi’s visit held personal significance, as her uncle was killed in the historic WWII battle.
