Over three-fourths of Americans think there should be a maximum age limit for elected officials, according to a CBS News/YouGov survey.

    I’m not sure age is the problem. It’s greed and corruption.

    I would also require anyone RUNNING for an elected office to divest themselves completely of all investments and business ties. Everyone running would get the same campaign funding and that is all they are allowed to use. For anyone elected, base pay would be significantly increased. This would naturally allow more younger candidates to both run and be elected, since you don’t have to be a corrupt, wealthy, ancient subhuman to fund a campaign.

    I’m with you on the term limits, too.

      Term limits and an inability to invest would just make it a completely unwanted job for anyone without some significant fallback plan.
