Trump Cognitively Declines In Front Of The World During Meet With NATO Leader
We need age limits for all held positions, and term limits for congress.
We should tie a mandatory government retirement age to Medicare or social security eligibility so there's some pressure to keep it below 80.
It's wild that people aren't expected to work at his age and in a lot of cases aren't allowed to drive anymore. But here is this decrepit old cunt steering the world backward into ruin.
There is an arbitrary minimum age requirement (35 years old) so it would be coherent to have a maximum as well.
Cognitive tests from a third party would be beneficial too.
I mean, the President and Executive have two separate and independent, third parties who are responsible for checks and balances against them, and look where that’s gotten us.
They’re all corruptible.
I think it would be great if we set the age limit to be tied to a percentage of the average expected lifespan of the country's citizens in some way. Setting a hard age limit wouldn't be adaptive enough.
It would incentivize them to pass legislation and regulations which help increase everyone's life expectancy. It would also somewhat help in the case of a future where some medical advances allow only those with enough money to have insanely increased lifespans.
Term limits have been implemented in many places and have not achieved better governance anywhere. They're another "obvious" solution that isn't worth shit in practice, like multi-party versus two-party electoral systems.
And age limits are just anti-democratic. I know a few old farts who are better qualitified to hold office than their younger rivals. Voters should choose, not some arbitrary rule.
Multi party systems do work better than whatever 18th century excuse for a system the US has come up with.
Term limits for legislative bodies is, and always has been, a dumb idea.
You need a constitutional amendment to impose age limits on offices.
This is the electorate's fault; the electorate needs to fix it.
A lot of hate for this, but it's true.
Incumbents aren't to blame for voters picking the familiar, that's a symptom of another problem.
We're seeing what an inexperienced government looks like now. They don't know the limitations they're supposed to have, and they don't care.
Doesn't the US already have age limits in the other direction?
I mean, it prevents people pursuing political positions as a permanent job. Which is how corruption happens.
It's much easier to pay off a permanant term SC judge with a "gift" of a Bus than it is to approach a newly appointed one with the same idea.
Term limits unquestionably help in eliminating corruption as it guarantees corruption is not only harder to accomplish the first time, but is flushed away with the end of each term.
Corruption happens when people have their footing in politics long enough to tear at the seams. They can't do that if they never find their footing.
