Current Events > What do you believe is the ideal age for a president?

(+) Yeah! (+)

like 50 or something? So maybe they're still in excellent health. Does it matter to you?

20 at the oldest. 21 and older, they are allowed to drink which leads to drunken decisions. But world leaders should be 10 years old actually. We would accomplish great things. Some leaders are mentally toddlers so it's an improvement.

Maybe in their 40s

Time to have good experience, but not too old to be in touch with modern society

Yeah, this. Late 30s or early 40s. Should be a total prohibition on anyone over 60. Beyond that age almost everyone is at best out of touch, and at worst actively selfish and/or bigoted.

I think, ultimately the president should be of any age, and 10 year old buffer.
If the President cannot explain the plan/vote/law to the 10 year old and for them to understand it -- then it doesn't get signed off.

The older I get, the more I think older presidents are preferable.

Ill be 40 next year and have an important job, but the idea of a 40-something president seems way more troublesome to me than how I viewed the issue in my 20s and younger.

Im fully confident by my mid-50s and I start getting less active that Ill have an about face and feel like more energetic youngsters is the way to go.

why do you say a 40 yr old president would be troublesome?

It just doesnt feel like a person in my general age range right now is experienced or mature enough to be president. I fully recognize thats an inane outlook, especially as there are loads of fellow CEOs and other c-suiters in my side of things my age and younger already.

30-50

69

21

45 to 50. Old enough to experience shit but young enough to not remember what the great depression was like.

idk if i have any ideal age in mind. anyone that can do the job is fine with me. i would prefer someone under 70 generally though

50's not too old not too young.

35-55

the bigger problem is the house, senate, etc. they really need to have an age cap on that. like 60-65 tops. we shouldn't have people in their 70s and 80s still in charge. hell the senate has someone that's 90 and another that turns 90 in a few days. even younger presidents will have a hard time getting people twice their age to relate to anything.

33

35

35-69 age range and it depends per person. Some need more seasoning in government and some have already reached the peak to have what it takes to be president at a young age.

Definitely the cut off age for running election should be 69 and 73 for those running for re-election. We don't need another president who's over the average life expectancy age of around 77 years old.
