Can we finally add an age limit to all political offices, please!?
Aren't some states trying to do that in the US? But with a lower limit instead of an upper limit to prevent the "woke millennials" from taking office?
monkey's paw's finger curls
we just need to raise the government buildings by 50 feet and make them only accessible by stairs/ramp
As far as I'm aware of, there is already a biological age limit.
a biological age limit
And it's called death.
Basically, while you have to be 35 to run for president (and be a natural-born citizen of the US and be a resident of the US for 14 years), there's no age cap on running for president. It's been that way ever since George Washington became president, and changing that would require an amendment to the US Constitution.
you should have to be within 10 years of the median age of the country to run for president, to ensure you are actually in touch with the country you are going to govern, and the people in it, and the problems they have.
The "issue" with that is that, typically, most elected officials work their way up the ladder. Generally speaking, first, they're mayor of a city, then governor, then they typically run for a federal office, be it president or congressman/ congresswoman. If they run for Congress, there's a chance they may run for president later down the line.
There are other options to pick from in a climb to the top, so this is just a general idea. Basically, they have to make a name for themselves on the national political stage before they have a chance at winning the presidency. So that's what they try to do when working their way up the ladder.
Funny, it didnt stop Bill Clinton, or Obama, or Kennedy, from achieving office while being within roughly 10 years of the median age of the country, or having names for themselves.
Maybe some IQ one as well - it doesn’t have to be too high, something like 60 would already filter out this idiot..
