  That means he’s currently 69. Nice

    I wonder what 69 is like at 69… (wife) it’s like eating spaghetti with meatballs.

  Too young and inexperienced, a president should be at least 98!

    And before you say it, yes i do mean 98!, as in 9e152

  Also, zero experience no longer precludes winning the presidency.

    Hell, he can be a criminal and still win the popular vote!

  If we have a minimum age to run for President then why not a maximum age. Initially we didn’t need it because most people would be dead by 70. But we need it now

    Maybe a minimum life form as well.

    I personally don’t like the idea of maximum age. Someone can very well be mentally OK even in their 90s.

    Rather a mandatory psychological evaluation.

      People can also be mature before 35.

      The idea is that in a country of 320 million, there should be enough qualified people, and nobody cares if you disqualify some people who should still be okay.

      There is also the aspect of very old people not having to live with the consequences of their decisions.

      that’s too subjective. Better to just do age

  By age alone, he’s already acquired 10% of the vote in whatever election he joins

  No one gives up the One Ring. Ever.

  (Except Sam, because he’s special. And because spiders.)

    Didn’t Frodo offer it to Tom Bombadil, who actually touched it, but refused the offer? I know everyone else wouldn’t/couldn’t even touch the thing.

      Tom Bombadil is a spirit-divine-thing from from ages long before Middle Earth.And yes, the One Ring likely didn’t even recognize Tom as a person so much as some natural element.

      Tom is the most special of the special cases, and I remember someone (Gandalf?) suggesting he could easily walk the ring to Mount Doom if he had a mind to, but would likely forget what he was doing a hundred paces later.

      But for sake of this thread, the One Ring is a solid allegory for power, specifically money or political power. This trend of boomers staying in office until they are infirm and senile (and clearly no longer capable of actually serving) shows just how tightly and desperately we hold onto power.
