Is 35 years old really a mature enough age to run the U.S. I think it should be raised to 45. 35 year olds lack the insight needed that come through maturity. This topic has been discussed before but please vote in the poll. What do you think?

Whoops forgot poll.

It probably isn't necessary. Americans would never vote for a 35 year old for POTUS.

Makes no difference really- most are screened anyway and have obligations to follow.

You sure about that? Never underestimate the will of an unlearned populous. You can quote me that,

Cause democracy has worked out so well for this country? It's not broke so no need to repair mentality? From what I briefly read democracy started in 1913 with the 17th amendment and Woodrow Wilson. Theodore Roosevelt was a very respectable president. Things went downhill from there.

It's the voting age that needs to be raised. According to Democrats, their spawn are still children at age 26.
