Should #Elected #Officials have an #Age limit? Leave an age #Limit in the comment if you agree.
@Ocean_Cowboy - Sure. There is already a minimum #age #limit (varies by office), so why not a maximum. Maybe 70 at time of election, with an absolute max exit at 76 (including SCOTUS).
In response to "SOME 80yo's are sharp," SOME 30yo's are sharp enough to be POTUS, and some 17yo's.
I don't think an upper limit is necessary or advisable. Voters can decide. Each person running for office is unique, and some folks are mentally/physically agile and capable into upper range. For a minimum age, I think it should be the same as voting age (18).
So 18+ should do it.
I don’t have an opinion about details of how many years, just some limit so we don’t have the same one for decades. SCOTUS too.
@AmerLiberal @CJLavoie That's a whole other discussion! :D
