"Addressing Age and Leadership in Washington: A Better Plan for the Future"
TL;DR
The author argues against age limits for political leaders, emphasizing the value of experience and the lack of evidence that younger politicians are better equipped to govern. While acknowledging cases where age-related issues may disqualify individuals, the author suggests that a cognitive test would be a more reasonable measure than an arbitrary age limit. Ultimately, the author believes that voters have the power to choose their leaders and should exercise it if they believe someone is unfit for office.
