Yeah, but there is truth in it.

Term limits would have been a good add on, along with an upper age limit to hold office.

Ben Franklin, born in 1706, was 81 in 1787 when, at the close of the Constitutional Convention, he made his famous comment about the nature of the new government:

"A Republic, if you can keep it."
I suspect he would not have advanced his own name in a run for the Presidency.
