Should there be a maximum age for the US President? | The Pledge

Greg Dyke says there should be a maximum age for candidates running to be the next US President.

Dr Alex George says age "shouldn't play a role" in the election and the current minimum age limit is also wrong.

Leave it to the British to judge US internal politics.

no one should be allowed in elected office until they are 35. And retirement should apply at 70.

Well, going off this logic, maybe there should be a maximum age for the monarchy and Parliament.

The old are better because they're generally wiser and more realistic. Young people are stubbornly idealistic

No age other than voting age. Scrap min of 35 and only have min age eligible to vote. If that was the case than AOC would have run for 2020 instead of waiting for 2024.

Lower the minimum to 32.
Maximum age should be 60.

Look at the energy levels of President Trump

I don’t care ! The USA president’s age should not be our problem here in the UK !

Americans need a president with a brain

[humanitarian-aquarian]

Everyone asking “how is it your business”. At least other people are asking these questions!?!? I agree that there should be a maximum age lol, and believe there should be a lower minimum age.
EDIT: or at least cognitive tests for these old heads

I don't know but there should definitely be an "e" at the end of "ther" ...

No! When the voters make that choice on Election Day it’s something to be considered...

Short answer: No... if we don’t want anyone over 70 to be President we won’t vote him in, and if we do we’ll vote him in... in 2008 John McCain’s age was a campaign issue so no need to change the constitution, it’s always a campaign issue
