Biden should use his last months in office to set maximum age limits for the presidency, congress, and Supreme Court

Saw on Reddit, but I think that would be a great idea and be a major policy change that gets us another "key" to the White House.

Edited: I'm mostly kidding guys! lol

1. Would take a constitutional amendment.

2. He doesn't have the power to do that, especially wrt SCOTUS.

3. Won't pass the house.

We desperately need to win the trifecta to get many meaningful reforms,

Some things can be done by congress, others require a constitutional amendment.

Republicans won't cooperate in either situation.

4. How do you propose he does this?

7. Executive orders aka official acts

Let the gop take it up with the Supreme Court.

9. Ah, more dictator porn.

10. EOs still have to be constitutional.

The constitution already sets the parameters for those offices. An EO is useless. It'd be challenged in the court and tossed out.

5. This isn't something he can just "do"

[stopdiggin]

6. Biden should just do that, huh .... ?

8. Why?

People age differently, so why would you set some maximum age limit? Someone can be sharp as a tuck at 90, while someone else can develop dementia at 60.

11. Fair enough. Maybe term limits then. nt

13. He can't just "do" term limits.

Congress would have to change the laws for Congress, and a Constitutional amendment would be needed for SCOTUS. Ain't happening.

12. He is still just President

Not a king
