YES, 65 at the most 60 would be better. There's to many mummies in both parties wandering around Washington that have no business holding office. There should also be IQ requirements for the jobs also because we have some really stupid people holding office

Age limits doesn't solve the problem. There are mentally challenged in congress of all ages.

The chances of the current Congress considering such a Constitutional amendment are zero. To effect such a change, it is going to have to begin in the states.

Cognitive abilities start to degrade as people age...
If we're going to deny people the right to hold office based on age, why wouldn't we deny people the right to v**e based on age???
We don't let kids v**e or hold office, right???

You have a point. Treatment should be applied equally across the board without discrimination.

My preference is term limits. The founders never envisioned elected public service as a career field. When FDR suspended the Constitution, it was necessary to add the 22nd amendment to limit the term of the presidency to two terms. It should be ammended again and include the House and the Senate. Term limits should be an informed e*****rate but pretty much all we have these days is an uninformed, uneducated e*****rate!

There shouldn't an age limit for v**ers. Nor should there be for Politicians. Age alone of one or two Presidents and a few in congress should not be the reason for upsetting the entire apple cart.

Things today remind me of a protest movie in 1968 called Wild In The Streets about the youth rising up and eliminating everyone over thirty for political reasons. The song in the movie was Shape Of Things To come by a fictional band.
