"Mokhiber, who was stepping down having reached retirement age..."

I'm so desperate for any one in power to do something, I'll take this anyway

While sometimes positions have a requirement to retire at a certain age and/or tenure, most don’t — I’m not sure if this particular role has such requirements. My reading of this is that while he was eligible to retire, he probably was not required to. Many people work past retirement eligibility.
