How old is too old for a person to run for President? Should there be an age limit?

Question

A person can run for President if he/she is 35 years old or older, but that is the only restriction regarding age. Should there be an age limit? How old is too old, or is there no such thing as too old?

Answer 1

no i dont think age should matter maybe if the person had a good backround and the issues should matter most

Answer 2

Lots of companies still force employees to retire once they reach 65, so I think that should be the cut-off.

Just my opinion.

Answer 3

Id say 65 is too old, then you are legally considered elderly and can retire.  

Answer 4

I'd say anything beyond 70 ought to disqualify a candidate, but then I have no say in your government's affairs, so it looks like McCain's boat is sailing smoothly, or at least, until he chose that idiot Pallin as running mate.  Perhaps, a warning sign of future Alzheimer's like Reagan?

Answer 5

I'd say 75, but everyone's health is different so I don't know if there should really be an age different, definately not over 100 years of age.

Answer 6

If you are too old to remember how many houses you have, or who the rival factions are in a war you will be commander-in-chief of, you are too old.  

Answer 7

Retirement age should be too old. Look at McCain. If he gets elected the stress of the job could be too much for his heart to handle. Then we'd be stuck with the evil stepmother.

Answer 8

nope

i dont think it makes a difference how old they are.

just as long as they are qualified

Answer 9

I say seventy-three, effective immediately.

Sorry McCain!

:]

Answer 10

"I will not exploit, for political purposes, my opponent's youth and inexperience." -- Ronald Reagan, 1984.

Answer 11

I really don't think that age should matter as much as competency and overall health. The person that is going to lead the most powerful country in the world doesn't need youth on his/her side as much as they need strong leadership qualities and experience.
