You can't be president until you are 35. Is it time to have an upper limit on age?

[Robert W]

Here I am almost 86 and quite lucid and intelligent. But I bring up Presidents age.
Presidents are banned from being president until they are 35. Why this age? I believe the founders believed at 35 you can take on hard tasks. Presidents do not become presidents by accident. They live with goals and plans all over the place they intend to try. Failed candidates got there by having clear plans. They failed but not because they lacked goals and plans.

How about dealing with advanced age? I know that waking up daily is wonderful. I would be stupid not to think of dying. I don't focus on this. But it is a fact of how humans end up at the end. They die.

Think of presidents who have died in office. To replace say FDR with Truman meant Truman was not up to speed on what FDR was. They put less trust in VPs than commonly believed.

Is it time to have an upper limit for presidents as to age?
I want to hear from serious posters.

Bwahahaha

[Dont Taz Me Bro]

If the people are willing to elect someone who is 90 years old to office, why shouldn't they?

“Quite lucid and “intelligent”

Bwahahaha

Yes, he is lucid and intelligent.


You don't recognize such because you are neither. All you know about politics is what team you are on.

It would require a Constitutional amendment. See Article 5 USSC.

[Blaster]

Some people age more quickly than others. If an 80 year old is mentally and physically fit they are qualified to be President.

 

[Edgetho]

You can be young and stupid-crazy, too.

I could point you to several dimocrap scum in here.

No, but political parties need to be more responsible, than running two old geezers, where neither may be up to the job, for the length of the term.

I know about that. Good point however.

I spent well over 50 years discussing old geezers. Woke up to learn I am one. I have no regrets for my life at all. Well I would want to be like Elon Musk. Or Bill Gates or Warren Buffett. But those men had excellent plans. They had goals. They put a lot of effort into getting their goals to come true. Why is the term Geezer around? Is Biden a Geezer?

 

[lg325]

Age should not be a factor but required health test both physical and mental by the party leadership should be.

When would those tests start? Trump was tested at times. Biden I hear has avoided them.

Who says?

You???

Yes. Joe is a Geezer, just as Trump and you (self admitted) and unfortunately me, though the benefits are great if you retire early and enjoy it.

Trump still has his mental faculties intact. Biden does not.

Just found out -- That 'Debate' last night??

It was a Cheap Fake Video. I know. CNN told me.

What age does a person become a geezer? I have no clue. It is not a thing I ever pondered.

And the harpies on the View said he put on a display of oratory mastery.

It's a different age with everybody.

As far as my own understanding of the term, the onset coincides with the first time you ball up your fists and shake them at the kids to get off your lawn
