I keep on thinking political offices seem always stocked with a lot of old folks. In fact, honestly, some of them sure seem like might be too hold to senile.

Wouldn't it be better to require elected officials to be in there need their peak prime? Set a upper limit of age 60 or so when they run for office.

Been posted before and I don't believe in ageism. Might as well be racist or sexist. All the same.

Put term limits in if you want, but I’ll take a senile Ronald Reagan over terrorists their 30s or 40s like Omar and Tlaib.
