Since the constitution has starting age, it should have an ending age of 55yrs old.

[CK_John]

And a 1 term of 6yrs for POTUS and VP, IMO.

1. FUCK THAT SHIT!!!!!

I'd fight that bullshit to my dying breath!!!!

That's AGIST BULLSHIT!!!!!

4. Then why have ages for Senators(30), and Representatives(25)?,

In the United States, a person must be at least 35 to be President or Vice President, 30 to be a Senator, or 25 to be a Representative, as specified in the U.S. Constitution. Most states in the U.S. also have age requirements for the offices of Governor, State Senator, and State Representative.

15. There's a big difference between minimum ages and maximums

The idea is that people haven't achieved gravitas, full stability and mental maturity until they have had a certain amount of real-life experience--the same reason enlightened societies don't treat kids like adults under law.
And your cut off age would have eliminated Washington, Adams, Jefferson, Madison, Monroe, J Q Adams, Jackson, W H Harrison, Taylor, Buchanan, A Johnson, B Harrison, Wilson, Harding, FDR (3/4 terms), Truman, Eisenhower, LBJ, Nixon, Ford, Reagan, and the first Bush.

2. I'd prefer my rights last longer than that

Thanks for the suggestion though

[Joanie Baloney]

3. Uh, no.

But thanks.

[Wounded Bear]

5. Silly idea...

not only dumb, but pretty much impossible to do.

[duncang]

6. People have been living longer. So setting a age don't think so.

[CK_John]

8. But the constitution does set an age.

[duncang]

11. Yep and I wouldn't mind it being dropped to voting age.

[NCTraveler]

13. And for that reason you want to decrease the span of age instead of increase.

Both would take a constitutional amendment. Not funny the direction you are going here. Your issue is that the field of people eligible is too large, not too small. There is something no progressive would ever want.

7. .

I'm sorry, I've got nothing else.



That and the fact that driverless cars are going to end civilization makes your point null in the first place.

[CK_John]

12. How clever a lot less people will not die in auto accidents, so they

can run for office.

[NCTraveler]

14. Yet your idea is to dramatically decrease the pool of eligible people.

This is too good.

[Codeine]

9. I'm fundamentally against any term limits.

And ageism ill becomes us.

[hlthe2b]

10. What a truly uninformed and idiotic statement...nah, not worth the effort....

[jehop61]

16. Thank you for your concern

But you'll change your mind when you hit 50

[CK_John]

18. I was born before Pearl Harbor.

[hamsterjill]

19. ^^^^^This!!!!!

Totally agree.

The youngsters always think they know it all, don't they???!!! LOL

[NCTraveler]

20. "But you'll change your mind when you hit 50"

Or by tomorrow.

[Grey Lemercier]

17. clickbait tosh

[citood]

21. Nope

[DavidDvorkin]

22. Hell, no, and it shouldn't have a minimum age, either.
