Mandatory retirement should be initiated at 75, along with Term Limits for all elected roles, and the senate should be banned or elected.
@9FMDLYL7mos7MO
Nobody above age 70 should be able to run
@9FF5G767mos7MO
Just cap the age at 70 instead
@99MWZYP1yr1Y
No, but those older than 75 shouldn't be able to run
No, there should be an age limit of 70 for running for public office.
It depends. There's a legitimate argument to be made, as older people have more health issues which could impede decisions, but younger people also have that to some ability, so I would say we should be more cautious.
@9CYGHXW9mos9MO
Only if there is enough evidence to suggest the test is necessary.
@9CTX96PNew Democratic9mos9MO
Yes and I also think every politicians be required to take it
@9CQJF7L10mos10MO
No, as there is a minimum age requirement, there should be a maximum age requirement. Mental tests can be subjective, but a full health check would be better. We should know if a candidate is terminally ill or not.
@9CQ8CWT10mos10MO
No, but require psychiatric evaluation every 2 years for politicians aged 80 years or older
