    How is this “flaw” the fault of a person taking another trip around the sun?
    It seems like this is either a solution looking for a problem or the wrong solution for a more concerning problem.
    Ranked choice voting would solve a number of problems without affecting either party. Why aren’t we asking voters how they feel about that? Why do most voters not even know what this is?

      If you can’t see the problem with politicians staying in office for decades, and staying past the point where they can actually do their jobs, I can’t explain it to you.

        What I have a very real problem with is people re-electing politicians who are clearly unfit to do their jobs. This has nothing at all to do with a person’s age. What you’ve defined above is a concern with Term Limits more so than an Age Limits. That’s a different conversation but I would fully support term limits.
        Again, you’re trying to solve a problem with the wrong solution.
