A Reddit post asking whether the U.S. should cap the age of presidents at XX sparked a heated and humorous debate online. The original poster suggested a presidential age range of XX to 70, arguing it makes sense to have a maximum if we already have a minimum.
Some users supported the idea, saying leaders finishing a term in their mid-70s feels reasonable. Others argued age shouldn’t be the main factor—mental fitness should.
One commenter said they’ve met people in their 90s who were sharper than some in their 50s. Another pointed out that the U.S. Constitution does allow for removal of an unfit president, though the process is almost impossible to use.
As usual, Reddit didn’t miss the chance for humor. One user joked about leaders being knocked over by a strong breeze, while another claimed Mitch McConnell is XXX years old.
Others shifted the focus entirely, saying issues like money in politics and corruption should be higher priorities than age. Some wondered why U.S. leaders are so much older than their global counterparts.
While there’s no maximum age for the presidency today, the question stirred a broader conversation about leadership, health, and whether the system needs to evolve.
