Men in their late 70 s running countries

I agree that these politicians are not always in top form past 65. I also agree that there are politicians that are not in top form regardless of their ages. However, there are some highly intelligent people that can be used as a consultant in politics past the age of 65. Age, regardless of your beliefs, changes the brain cells and affects the bodies of different people in different ways. Age must be a factor in choosing a president unless you want to continue having this scenario over and over. Age, Intelligence, knowledge, experience and ability must be the determining factor to allowing someone to run for the highest office in our Country. I can only speak for United States. There also must be fully agreed to laws and contracts signed that prohibit money making schemes for self and family members during their term in office. We are experiencing the failure of these safeguards not being in place and having a tyrannist allowed to hold this office. He scammed his way all the way to the top which doesn’t say much for the people that stupidly believed him. Not only is he a convicted criminal but he is also a pedophile. It boggles my mind to think anyone did not see or believe or care about
this beforehand. Keep in mind that the US military is setting age restrictions for male active duty military personnel to max 44-45 years old. This shows how they feel about a person’s physical stamina and that is does matter. Of course, I realize the President is not personally doing combat but that position requires a strong ability to walk and talk at the same time. This president cannot and will never be able to do this. He is an American embarassment.

In fairness to all TerriBull, I think the default retirement age for politicians should be no lower than the for we mere mortals, so 67 from this year onwards?
