Feel like that’s still too high, but a good start.
Should be 65
Please holy crap we need to do the Doctor Who thing and go in the other direction for abit lol
>“across all three branches of government, 75 years — you’re out“
His party and our country would be better served by a net worth limit. $10 million — You’re out!
Rahm is an ass, but we do need to age limit our leaders. 75 is still too old. Cap it at 70.
It is supposed to be voters determining age limits, but I can see why this is problematic. My own representative has gotten too complacent, his constituents have gotten too complacent. A gerontocracy with the best wishes towards the kids is going to subconsciously weigh power in their best interest. And not towards future generations. They can’t let go. There is a lack of humility, and increasing fixation. It is just the reality.
No, 65 max. And MANDATORY full medical disclosure by a non-partisan entity or else IMMEDIATE disqualification.
Biden and Trump were/are rotting before our eyes and Trump is mentally unstable.
Age AND term limits for ALL members of Congress and Supreme Court too. No more 30+ year Congressional members or people hanging around until they’re 80+.
I call Rahm to never be in government again and go to jail.
75 is still to high. Most jobs around the country won’t hire anyone that old, but apparently it’s just fine for the most important job in the country? It’s ridiculous.
Think the limit should be around 65-70. Most people that old are too out of touch with the world we currently live in. They don’t have a great grasp on new technologies or understand the risks. 75 is at least a start I guess
People! It’s campaign finance reform. Everything else is just noise.
Should be you can’t be elected in the year you would turn 67 for House and 71 for Senate. You can be elected the year you would turn 65 and serve out the term but no more.
As long as old people vote more than young people – as they always have and always will – this has no chance of becoming a thing.
How about first calling for the Constitution to be upheld and corrupt politicians prosecuted?
That’s not enough. There needs to be mandatory thorough physical and mental exams on all presidents by a nonpartisan physician who is not appointed by the president. The tests performed need to be explicitly named (eg An MRI of the brain instead of just “advanced imaging”). Any results outside of normal range should be detailed. This needs to be released to the public at least annually.
Make it 65. It is the same as forced retirement for pilots and other federal law enforcement. Can’t be a public servant in those areas, can’t be in power either.
Let’s make it 65 or 70 and I’m behind you
Participation in government should based based on competence, not age. I would hate to lose Bernie Sanders, and he’s older than Trump.
Some people are not competent at any age. Some could be competent into their 80s and beyond.
Of course defining competence and testing for it could be a challenge.
I think 65 would be ideal, 75 is way too old.
Rahm always slithering around looking for a way to insert himself back into power. As if no one thought about age or term limits. Make the age limit 66. It’s not as though our elected officials need to worry about being eligible for social security checks.
75 is definitely too old for the Supreme Court. Do we really believe that Kavanaugh is going to have his mental faculties anywhere near that long? 2 terms for Congress, for sure. Then we won’t have jackasses who get elected because „oh, I know that name. My nanny used to talk about him.“ We won’t need age limits
In think it should match the mandatory retirement age for pilots, which is currently 65. If you’re too old to fly a plane you are too old to be in charge of the nuclear football.
50 or 55. Somebody young enough to remember the struggle.
Cannot be above retirement age upon completion of a second term for President; impose term limits for Courts, senators and representatives and include the same for ending of final term. If there’s an age minimum there needs to be a maximum.
FAA mandates pilot retirement at 65. If a pilot can’t be trusted with hundreds of lives at any given time after 65, a geriatric politician shouldn’t be trusted with hundreds of millions.
Average life expectancy was much lower at the founding of America than it is today – the Founders did not envision people this old, and this out of touch with daily life, to run the country.
It would be a nice change, sorry Bernie.
That’s still way too fucking old.
I agree
It is rather surprising that we expect people to retire from their jobs but still allow them to become president.
No older than 67 when starting 1st term.
Rahm won’t say 65 because he’s already 66 and thinks he still has a shot to be president someday.
One of the most horrifying thoughts I ever had is that the 21st Century is when we develop some sci fi medical technology, and Amy Comey Barret is grand-fathered in and still serving as a brain in a jar 1000 years from now. She’s currently the youngest sitting justice. And women tend to live longer than men.
She’s still under 50, and she’s got access to the current state of the art medical technology so she could well still be serving in like 2075 at around 100 years old without any crazy revolution. What if they invent medical nanites in ~2070 that would let her live to 125 or 150? That’s far enough in the future that I don’t think it sounds crazy. And if we accept that there’s a chance that it will be possible for people to live to 150 in the year 2125, then she would have all the medical technology of 100 years from now to keep going from that point. Goodness knows what sort of Star Trek medical blinking lights they’ll have 100 years from now. And what even is „life“ if somebody can mind-upload into a supercomputer and outlive their body?
If anything like that happens, surely we would reform the rules so that nobody appointed in the 2100’s gets appointed for a lifetime seat. Easy enough. But anybody appointed before the change in rules might wind up with the seat basically as long as the US Supreme Court exists. It’s a weird mix of „I hope medical technology helps people (including myself!) live long healthy lives“ and „oh god we may accidentally see a permanent regressive voice on the Court appointed in my lifetime, or that person may even have already been appointed.“
No one should be able to run for office after 67. And no second term after 70.
I’d say FAA rules for pilots. If you can’t fly a commercial airliner, you can’t be expected to run a government.
The negotiations should START at 65. „Retirement age“ for the masses, retirement age for those in power as well. Its INSANE we would trust a 70 yr old + with running the country. Go ahead and be an advisor, but if you are passing law, you need a few decades on the backend to live with your actions and their consequences. The idea that we have leaders that are 80+, who actively fuck this country over, screwing whole generations and also are very likely to die in power is psychotic.
Fuck that, the limit needs to be 65.
Call it 65 and you got a deal.
Politicians and judges should be forced to retire at whatever age is set for Social Security eligibility.
So the age he would be if he won in 2028 and got two terms?
It should be lower, specifically 66.
I would love to see it caped at 70 and they should be ineligible if they were to turn 70 during their term.
This dementia stuff can never happen again. Pre onset trump was bad enough.
