Um I think you're absolutely right when it comes to uh age caps uh on presidencies.
0:06
I think it's starting to become an issue as you see cognitive decline in some of these older folk.
0:11
I mean the ba I mean we just the world is changing so much that right now with AI and social media and technology that a lot of these older generations aren't able to handle the change that's coming.
0:26
So why are we electing them to control it?
0:29
Uh I think there's so much going on with our younger generation right now.
0:34
There's such change.
0:35
Uh I don't think the older generation is gonna be able to handle it.
0:40
And I don't see why we're allowing them to run at president at 80 years old when the differences they make aren't gonna be noticed until they're far gone.
0:49
I mean, you really don't notice many changes for five to ten years uh in politics.
0:55
So why are we letting people who aren't gonna even be here for them uh make these decisions?
1:01
And another thing I bring up with that is life tenure in the Supreme Court.
1:06
Why if uh if we're adding age caps to presidents should we uh also think about the life tenure that Supreme Court justices have.
1:15
Uh I think that's also another issue that can come up.
1:20
I mean, there are several uh Supreme Court justices that are getting to extreme levels of age uh and making decisions that impact the entirety of America.
1:33
And you know, I think if we're I think if we're arguing about the age cap of presidents, I think we should also consider uh taking away life tenure of Supreme Court justices.
1:44
I think that's another idea that should be addressed.
1:46
So good point.
