I might agree, but people age differently, and with age comes wisdom that is sorely lacking in our politics. Adding an age limit as a means of getting rid of people who have been in politics too long is the wrong solution for the wrong problem.
I don't want young people serving at all if we could help it, while "young over corrupt" seems like an obvious preference, corruption in politics happens over time. The younger they are when they get into politics, the more time they will be exposed to coercion and blackmail attempts.
There should be a minimum age along with a maximum term limit as 'lifetime politicians' are the problem, not their age.
Silly to try to legislate every scenario. Makes more sense to just go back to having the smartest and most successful vote so we have better judgement. You won't be voting between a Communist and a socialist when all the voters are tax payers
80 seems a reasonable cap for anyone in politics. I'd prefer younger but President Trump is a Rock star. People should not be dying in their posts.
At the very least, a mental evaluation that is required to be publicly displayed. Americans should know if the official/justice/etc. is all there.
