Over three-fourths of Americans think there should be a maximum age limit for elected officials, according to a CBS News/YouGov survey.

    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.
