Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

I think that since you have to be 35 to run. We should have a max age... ~70 or with in 20 years of the average age of vote eligible adults, which ever is lower.
But that's apparently crazy talk.
OK, but what’s the cut off? What if we say it’s 70. But someone would turn 70 on the last year that they are president. And let’s say it’s the second term for example. So then what? they’re completely not allowed to run Because the last month that they are 69 years old, they would turn 70 and his term would be slightly longer than that. Or the reverse, someone is running at 34 but would turn 35 Just prior to becoming president, assuming he would win. Also, some people at age 70 are doing fantastic, and some have a lot of health problems. Some with those health problems are still mentally sharp, and some without health problems can be mental declined due to say dementia. So I think that is a little more complicated than just setting arbitrary limits. Last comment, our life spans are getting longer and longer… So then what? If it eventually needs to be extended, that also would become a huge debate.
Just make it 70 or less on they day of inauguration, should they win.
