Make the upper age limit 80 then we can talk. Mind you, Dementia Joe will be barely coherent when he is 80. The creep has not aged well.

People who have worked in government all their lives shouldn’t be able to run for President

He should amend his comment to “Democrats over 70 should not run for office.”

>>He will be in his eighties on the campaign trail for the next presidential election in 2024. If he is re-elected and serves a full second term, Biden would leave office aged 86.

No way he runs, and even if he did, no way he wins.

Judging by my parents and their friends, 75 is the age where you really have to convince me you belong in a high stress decisive decision style job.

I won’t vote for any candidate over 75, especially for president. Yes, that means my favorite president ever too.

His mother is 73. And she is not running for president. She is a private businesswoman.

Age discrimination. Some 80 year olds are like Biden and should not be in office. Others are experienced, wise, energetic and more than capable. Select on the person, not the age.

Minimum age for Presidency is 35.
Are you saying we should never trust our President?

I actually favor non retroactive age limits for judges and federal office holders.

We usually don’t realize we are getting senile. We have inflated senses of our abilities. And our handlers are too dependent upon us to state the obvious.

Like a law forbidding you to run for federal office after age 70. Judges go part time if they want age seventy to eighty but then must retire. Supreme Court mandatory retirement age 75.

Basic competence test before running for office would be better.
Might catch early-onset Liberalism.
