Almost everybody supports the minimum age requirement of 35 years old to run for president, but should there be a maximum age limit to run for the highest office?

According to a recent YouGov poll 58% of Americans say there should be a maximum age limit.

I concur, there should definitely be a maximum age limit to serve as President of the United States and Leader of the Free World. It’s understandable that the FAA requires air traffic controller to retire at age 56, because being responsible for the safety of aircraft and their passengers is stressful and exhausting and it takes a physical and mental toll on controllers. They have one of the most stressful jobs in the world, but being president of the United States and Leader of the Free World is hands down the most stressful occupation. I believe that 60 should be the maximum age limit to run for president.

“Americans over 60 hold many of the highest offices in the U.S. government. An analysis of the current 117th Congress revealed that it’s the oldest, on average, of any Congress in at least the past 20 years. The average age of U.S. Senators is currently 64 and the average age of U.S. House members is 58. House Speaker Nancy Pelosi is 81 and Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer is 71.”

“Down with the patriarchy” is a common refrain in the progressive community, but how about “Down with the Gerontocracy”? Our democracy is dying because there are too many mostly white senile politicians in leadership positions. Dianne Feinstein, Donald Trump, Chuck Grassley and Joe Biden are manifestly senile, and unfit to serve.

Republican presidential candidate Nikki Haley recently proposed that politicians over age 75 should be required to take a mental competency test. That’s a sensible proposal, who doubts that Biden and Trump would fail such a test?

First Lady Jill Biden got her panties in a bunch when a CNN reporter asked her if she agreed with Haley’s suggestion. “Ridiculous” she snapped, “We would never even discuss something like that.”

She’s right there wouldn’t be a discussion, Biden is so mentally impaired that he would simply do whatever his wife tells him to do. Biden is so senile that he does whatever his aides and handlers tell him to do.

This charade must stop. Joe Biden is too old to run for reelection, period! Prominent Democrats like California Governor Gavin Newsom must challenge him now, and declare that they’re running for president.
