THANK YOU. I’ve been saying this. They need to get evaluated every 6 months too and if they find something odd they can’t run for another term.

Because back when the country was founded the average life expectancy was like 50 years

They do have to take a sanity test apparently our two most recent presidents passed it all times they took it, which baffles me

Confirmed the Catholic Church is better organized than the federal government

Well it’s mostly bc the age to be eligible was made when the country was being founded by the constitution but since then congress and the senate are lazy asf to change it

🤨

yup. Should’ve stopped Biden and his incompetent ass from running back 8 years ago

They should do the same thing for congress!

Anonymous 1d

The issue is 1) our young people don’t want to be in office. That’s for one. 2) Until you get rid of the current boomers, you’ll never get a guy in office that isn’t near death and can’t even say a simple sentence.

Valid. But how many younger people are running tho. That gave the experience required to run a country

I see the comparison but the pope runs a nation like a tenth the size of Central Park and is a religious figure. The other is the president of the USA. But also congress just sucks and will prolly never get that ball rolling. Don’t think it’s a hot take tho, we need age limitations

Anonymous 1d

This is not a hot take in my opinion a lot of people have said this not only for president but all political offices

Anonymous 1d

Maybe bc that’s a completely different country and they have their own laws. We aren’t subjected to doing the same thing as another country 🙄🙄🙄

You can pass any test if you tell the person administering it that they’re going to get shipped to the gulag if you fail it

Mhmm, should be a non-biased panel of physicians and frankly they should evaluate all branches of government. House, senate, judiciary, and executive. Executive and Judiciary every 6 months, 12 months for the legislative. With longer windows to step down, for more checks and balances. IE legislative can serve till end of term, judiciary gets 1 year, president gets 3 months to step down.

We’re not suggesting to lower the age they’re allowed to run (36) we’re suggesting that the current president shouldn’t be FOSSILIZING while they’re in office.

trump had no political experience (not that he’s especially good at running the country but it shows you don’t need it to get elected)

there are actually many people in their late twenties or early thirties that just currently beat out incumbents. this happened for representatives in both new york and colorado recently. the only problem is that getting into office takes a ton of money, so unless you 1. sell your soul to a PAC to get campaign money or 2. run a super successful grassroots campaign, it's insanely hard to get into federal office. thats why almost everyone that runs is either older or wealthy

Being elected president doesn’t mean you won a court case. If anything, it shows a glaring problem with our government that a convicted rapist can become president. That isn’t the gotcha you think it is

Which is hypocritical because they wouldn’t hire a felon for an entry level government job but they will allow that clown to run for president. Tf??

Technically the only requirements are 35+ years old, American born citizen, primary residence in the US for the last 14 years before running.

First of all, your reasoning is outrageously flawed. But I want to ask, if someone (not trump, random person) who was convicted of being a rapist applied for a school board position, would you want that person to be there? For a local office’s outreach commission, what about now? State senator? Do you really want someone like that holding power or authority?

What imaginary conviction are you talking about? You are full of shit

I’m talking about a random person right now, if someone got convicted of rape would you want them in any of these offices? Yes or no?

How is asking, “Do you want a convicted rapist in office?” a bad question that’s a reasonable question? Why would you want a rapist in charge? You do realize sex offenders can’t go on specific grounds, so how is a president going to do his job when he can’t even be near a school or even go out of the country? Hell, right now he’s a convicted felon, so he already can’t go out of the country or own a firearm.
