Do baking powder and baking soda loose their effectiveness after a certain amount of time?

I've had the same cans of baking powder and container of baking soda in my cupboard for a couple of years. Now, I want to bake cookies, so I'm wondering if they loose their ability to make cookies rise or not.

baking powder typically has an expiration date.
If it's double acting baking power, you can take a little spoonful and put it in a little water. If it's good it should fizz up quickly. If the powder just sort of sits there, it's time to get another container.

The baking soda should be okay. put a little in vinegar. That should bubble vigorously. If not, get another box.

It's probably a safe assumption that it's time to get a new boxes of baking powder and baking soda.
