    I really think every level of politician should have age and term limits. Get more people in there, maybe there will even be one with some grasp on reality.

      Should at a minimum be the retirement age that the country is set at. If that’s 65, then that’s the number.

        The problem with setting thier limit to retirement age is they’ll raise the retirement age just so they can stay longer.

      there is an age limit for the president, but the wrong one. The limit is that they can’t be younger than 35. We need one for when they go senile too

      That limit should be the same as for anyone else - retirement age, 65 and ciao. This holding on to the power with limp hands while half dead is just stupid AF.

        I agree with the sentiment, but wouldn’t old fucks clinging to power just have further incentive to raise retirement age then? They’re fine with having us perform backbreaking labor into our 70s and 80s if that’s the only consequence to getting to keep their jobs and power.
