      The age thing I’m less interested in, but competency tests and health checks probably more so. Think they’d do the same thing but more precisely (some people shit out in their 70s, some people stay sharp until they’re 100)

        The age limit thing is definitely a tradeoff. We would lose people like Pelosi and Trump (and Biden), but we’d also lose Bernie Sanders.

          Good. There’s tons of younger people who stand for the same things that Bernie stood for.

        Some people shouldn’t be eligible in their 30s. I don’t know how we decide it though is the issue, and I don’t trust that some conservative won’t gain power and say “anyone who thinks corporations shouldn’t be regulated is mentally ill” won’t gain power.

        But can you trust that they will remain sharp for 4 years (or whatever the term of the position they’re running for)?

          This is the key to term limits right here imo
