Politicians include elected officials at the state and federal level along with appointed positions such as Supreme Court Justices.

Forced retirement includes never being allowed to be an assistant to a politician or act as a lobbyist. Anyone caught trying to evade their forced retirement is heavily fined and their employer is fined/removed from office.

No forced retirement, but competency checks for anyone over 50 (early onset alzheimers is a thing).

I don't see why an able 80 year old should have to move over for someone like George Santos or Lauren Boebert.

No maximum age discrimination. Just wait til you reach that age, and then be told you're "too old to work" and be forced to retire. See how you'll like it....

We do it all the time in many professions.

I'm not in favor of age restrictions for office, be that maximum or minimum. If a state wants one of their senators to be 95 and the other senator to be 25, so be it.

And yes, I would support a constitutional amendment to rescind political office age restrictions.
