If we’re selecting cool max ages for things I suggest 69.

Personally I think it should be a definition instead of a straight number

Something like the current LD50 of old age or something.

We could tie it to average American life expectancy and that’d incentivize Congress to improve healthcare in this country

How about we just have them take the ACT or hell even a GED test to qualify to be in the running?

I swear it’s easier to become president than it is to get into college.

Funniest version of this I’ve heard of is having to pass the citizenship test every time you want to run

What is the minimum age to be eligible to the function?

What is the life expectancy for the candidate’s gender?

Life expectancy - minimum age of eligibility = max age of eligibility

Right now that would restrict eligibility to be president down to between the ages of 35 and 41

I’m no fan of gerontocracy but I’m pretty sure almost nobody who’s served as president would have been eligible under those restrictions.
