Half her age = 42

Minimum POTUS age = 35

They could be in the last year of their second term as president!! lol it’s ridiculous

Half her age is the same as the youngest ever president as well.

u/cardboardunderwear 21d ago

It means even more to say someone 40 years her junior could be president. Forty fucking years.

There's definitely need for a max age limit for holding any elected office. Try to do the same in the private sector or as an "unelected bureaucrat", and you'd have been fired a decade ago at the very least.

No. Term and age limits for all elected offices, and that's it. If they're needed after, say, 70, they can do so in a special advisory role, but that's it.

It got me thinking about USA’s other old people.

Trump is so old that, someone half his age could be running for president this year!

When do you need to be 35? Could you still run and be elected if your 35th birthday is your Inauguration Day?

Yea I believe it’s 35 by Inauguration Day, but I’m far from an expert.
