  • People coming up with such rules that sound reasonable forget the reason why no rules like that will ever exist. It’s the slippery slope argument: If you start taking power from anyone because of their age, the question becomes who will decide at which age power is stripped? Who will be stripping and once the rule is established will someone change that rule to their benefit and start taking power from political opponents etc.? We strip power from those sick and unable to hold it… Usually. And on a case by case basis. Because you usually can argue for that person why they are unfit. Just reaching an age does not make you unfit by default. And there are tests to prove you are unfit…,… And then there is the U.S… They would not strip trumps power at any age. Even if there was a law… So yeah.
