Age and term limits, please.

No "please." Just do. The People have spoken.

Sane people have spoken. I'm sure way too many people would be willing to keep him in office even after this.

I disagree about age limits, but I absolutely agree with term limits. I think the latter will fix the former.

Could you explain your age limit issue? The man clearly has an age related medical problem, potentially dementia. And let's also look at Dianne Feinstein.

I've met 70+ yos that are perfectly capable of running large organizations, and with medicine getting better, we may see more older people that are still capable of governing.

Instead of testing for age, we should test for mental acuity. I think both Biden and McConnell would fail that test, and probably more.
