Both him and Biden shouldn’t be in political office, in fact there should be a cutoff and that should be you can’t run after you’re 70. Democrat or Republican people that should be at home retired tending to their garden or fishing shouldn’t be running the country.
It’s scientifically proven your cognitive ability is significantly declining by that age, and not to mention they are almost always out of touch with the modern world we live in.
I agree, there are plenty of other people from this generation capable of running government. It’s time for these people who have been in power for over 30 years to retire.
After 20-30 years they don’t add anything as a politician imo. There should be a max of 3 term limits in most political offices on the state and federal level.
Well yeah case to case with anything specific is going to be unique, but that is the overall general trend.
This also isn’t one study, it’s a synopsis of lots of data and studies.
Just like you might have the rare 80year old run a 5k, that doesn’t disprove that overall our bodies aren’t physically declining significantly overall by then.

It’s illegal to discriminate based on older age. This sounds like whataboutism. Always expect someone to bring it back to attack Biden.
If congress can enforce a mandatory retirement age for airline pilots, they can have a mandatory retirement age for anything.
Unfortunately, the people making the rules dont want to put themselves out of a job…
Is it discrimination to say “this person no longer has the cognitive capacity to do this job” ?
Not to mention that people who won’t be around to see the consequences of new laws shouldn’t be making them.
Can you link me to this scientific proof that cognitive abilities are significantly in decline by age 70 please?
You really need me to give you a link to prove that we decline as we age? Really?
That’s also something you could easily google yourself but I have no problem providing some info to you:
https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4015335/#:~:text=Cognitive change as a normal,speed%2C decline gradually over time.
More specifically, read the part about “Executive Function”. But the whole thing is worth a read for a good overview.
Second time I’ve seen you post this study with little reflection outside your narrative. Cognitive decline, one must assume.

I mean, it’s not straight science, but have you met people over 70? They are not in their prime when it comes to work performance.
Depends on the person. Some people are on an obvious decline in their 50s. Others are still quick as a whip in their 70s.
Most of them don’t have the kind of medical care you get when you’re a Senator/President.
Ok, fair. But Reagan’s cognitive ability didn’t really benefit much from all that care, did it?
Not only do we decline mentally and physically (naturally) there’s also the increased risk of dementia.
