Age and health concerns spark new debate on political leadership

[@peterlundskow4061]

A manditory age for elected officials is shortsighted! Bernie Sanders is a great example of that. Anytime he speaks & shows his knowledge of the issues & skills he makes other elected officals half his age look unqualified!

This isn’t a new debate, but it was only convenient for the media to point this out when Biden was a candidate.

[@teamzissou5663]

You must lack a long term memory. Biden and Trump were both criticized by numerous media outlets for being too old to be POTUS.

​. Not true

[@jessetorres8738]

I feel that since we have a Constitutional 2 term (or 10 year) limit on the Presidency, then we should have them on the Congress & Courts as well. I'd prefer a 10 term limit in The House, a 3 term limit in the Senate, & a 20 year limit on all Judges nominated by the President & voted on by The Senate. This is the only way to limit corruption in the federal government by constantly changing it.

What age proves in American "Leadership" is how PROFITABLE it is to be an elected official.

[@stevehulet7137]

Why is this NOW a problem for the media ?

[@lindasue263]

My gripe is when an elected official doesn't show up for the votes. There are some that have a high number of "no shows." They need to do their job consistently, not just when they feel like it.

“. . . the kind of insights that are unique to having a long lens on the human condition.” What a beautiful, eloquent use of English. Fabulous!

Trump is the best President we ever had

[@jamesvarner758]

Yes, we need term limits. Two terms and your replaced!

[@plumerjr]

Not that simple. As was said it's also a job experience helps.

[@jamesvarner758]

@plumerjr money in politics has made most politicians corrupt, something needs done

Just look at Bernie, he's doing great but there should be an I.Q. Test for all of them young and old.

[@YouDontKnowMeSoYouDontKnowJack]

Bernie is a screwball.

Imagine another 40 years of AOC?
