Age restrictions for Congress?

Post by The Conservative » Wed Oct 18, 2017 8:05 am

Watching the Sessions Questioning live, I have a statement and question...

Screw the term limits, if there is a rule for pilots not to be over a specific age for commercial airlines... why can't we put a limitation on age for congress or political candidacy?

I absolutely agree

There should be both an age floor and age ceiling for any type of public office.

Let's limit one of the few things that correlate to increased wisdom. Better yet, let's just 17 year old kids run the thing.

That's what the age floor is.

After a certain point the wisdom that comes from age is not worth the all the negatives that come with age. The lack of vitality, both physically and mentally, is too detrimental for these pieces of shit to be able to do their job

Congress has a limitation of how old you need to be to be part of congress, yes?

25 for the House, 30 for Senate. I believe there are age restrictions with Commissioned officers maybe adopt those. Maybe once you hit 80 time to give it up.
