    Both him and Biden shouldn’t be in political office, in fact there should be a cutoff and that should be you can’t run after you’re 70. Democrat or Republican people that should be at home retired tending to their garden or fishing shouldn’t be running the country.

    It’s scientifically proven your cognitive ability is significantly declining by that age, and not to mention they are almost always out of touch with the modern world we live in.

      I agree, there are plenty of other people from this generation capable of running government. It’s time for these people who have been in power for over 30 years to retire.

        After 20-30 years they don’t add anything as a politician imo. There should be a max of 3 term limits in most political offices on the state and federal level.

      It’s illegal to discriminate based on older age. This sounds like whataboutism. Always expect someone to bring it back to attack Biden.

        If congress can enforce a mandatory retirement age for airline pilots, they can have a mandatory retirement age for anything.

        Unfortunately, the people making the rules dont want to put themselves out of a job…

          Not to mention that people who won’t be around to see the consequences of new laws shouldn’t be making them.

        I’d like to see representation in government that fits the demographics that are being represented, more or less. There’s no room for change in government though, too few seats and too much money involved. “We’ve always done it this way” is in charge.
