minus-squareÐ Greıt Þu̇mpkin@lemm.eelinkfedilinkarrow-up20·9 months agoPersonally I think it should be a definition instead of a straight number Something like the current LD50 of old age or something.
minus-squarecalcopiritus@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up12·9 months agoRetirement age of 8 years ago (to prevent extending it for themselves) - 4 years.
minus-squareÐ Greıt Þu̇mpkin@lemm.eelinkfedilinkarrow-up10·9 months agoRight now that would restrict eligibility to be president down to between the ages of 35 and 41 I’m no fan of gerontocracy but I’m pretty sure almost nobody who’s served as president would have been eligible under those restrictions.

minus-square3ntranced@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up2·9 months agoHow about we just have them take the ACT or hell even a GED test to qualify to be in the running? I swear it’s easier to become president than it is to get into college.

Or change the max age to 75.
Why not both? Also make it 70.
