It is undemocratic, even if practically speaking(the way our system works), you're unlikely to see some one younger than 35 run anyway, so I'm down for that.

What's the rationale for having a minimum age requirement (besides say 18)? Most reasons you don't want them to be president would serve equally well as reasons that people shouldn't vote for them.

The age requirement was put into place when people didn't have any other metrics to easily corroborate. It's outdated and can go away.

Literally a whole article devoted to whining that young people should be allowed just because she isn't quite 35 yet.

Also suggests immigrants should be allowed.


Nice alt right tactic there, trying to slip by casually that immigrants shouldnt be allowed. What are you gonna do, deport them all?

You literally have to be a natural born citizen to run for president.

It's why John McCain had some issues at first.

Yeah, the dynastical thing maybe made more sense then, but considering how much longer life expectancy is these days, I don't think it's as effective of a deterrent these days. Like there's only been one president in the current and previous century who couldn't have a child who was old enough to be president when they finished (JFK).

Allowed to run for president =\= should be allowed

He didnt say allowed to run for president. He said allowed.

He will play it as overlooking it, but in reality alt right does mistakes like that often to mold peoples minds.

See, were discussing should immigrant be allowed right now thanks to him

I can see why the requirement is there.

But then again we have a natural born citizen right now in russias pocket so I guess it makes no difference
