  I would settle for no one can be elected if their age is younger or older than 30 and 60.

    Same maximum retirement age for everyone. Politicians included.

      If you’re old enough to draw your full Social Security payment, you’re too old to hold public office.

      Sorry, Bernie. You’re one of the good ones, but you’ll have to make sacrifices for the common good.

        Not being eligible doesn’t mean not doing campaigns for other people.

      I’m not talking about just the president. I don’t think we need anyone older than 60 deciding the future. I’m less than a decade from 60 but have been ruled by people much older than me why whole life. It isn’t any better and in some ways worse than it was when I was in my twenties.

        Yup. I’m 45 and I can’t believe that people older than my parents are still running the country.

        Yea, I feel you. Age limits everywhere, especially the upper limit, are a good idea.
