I have a hunch that the US has the single longest unbroken streak of being led by decrepit people. Like even in the middle ages I can’t imagine an old demented king ruling for more than a few years before croaking or being deposed, right? I’d like an input from a historian but I’m at least pretty sure the US is in the top 5.

Only one I can remember off hand is Ramses II who lived to 90 after ruling for 66 years
