No
On the Job Training
I hear various noises from the hinterlands that our two candidates
for President are too advanced in years to be effective leaders.
So let's ask ourselves:
Is Biden past his prime? Yes. Is Trump a mentally deteriorating
man-child? Yes. Is Mr. Biden still capable of running this
country? Yes. Is Trump capable of much more than soiling
himself and calling people names? No.
The issue here isn't really age, it's capability, which means
we wouldn't even be having this conversation about age if
we had more stringent requirements for who gets to be President,
or
even a congressman
for that matter.
Running a government is not something a reality TV personality
can just step into. It requires years
of hands-on experience and how learning to keep the gears
of
governance
nice and greasy.
So instead of changing the rules to limit how long a president
can remain in office based on his birth date how about we
instead require experience at all levels of
governance, meaning local, state and then federal positions,
before anyone even THINKS of running for president.
