To be honest, I believe that there should be an age limit for the presidency, and that age should be 40. Here's my reasoning...

Most of the people in the U.S. are under the age of 40. That's half a generation with its own philosophies and insights into how things should be run. The people over 40 make up a lower percentage of the population (since...you know...health issues), and thus aren't going to have opinions that'll really reflect THE PEOPLE. Sure, you sacrifice experience for the sake of the people, but isn't that why we have a check on the presidential power?

Of course...not when one party controls everything...

My two cents.

When the founding fathers though about that, they came up with almost the (35 or older) exact opposite conclusion, I guess they took wisdom over youth.

The older you get the more sense that will make to you.
