Rep. John James (R-MI) has introduced a resolution that would amend the Constitution to impose upper-age limits for the President and for members of Congress; he wants the limit at 75.
From Fox News:
If passed, it would call on Congress to work on a Constitutional amendment to stop anyone from running for those offices “if at any time during the term the person will be 75 years of age or older,” according to bill text obtained by Fox News Digital.
“The world’s not getting slower, it’s getting faster. The world’s not getting safer, it’s getting more dangerous. The world’s not getting any younger – and we have a lower bound, it just makes sense to have an upper bound,” James told Fox News Digital in an interview.
“You can’t watch a video of Feinstein or McConnell or Biden and tell me that everything’s OK,” James said. “It’s not just us saying it, it’s our adversary seeing it, they see that America has lost a step.”
“Our founders didn’t intend for these to be lifetime appointments in the legislature. They didn’t intend for legislators to die in office or to get doggone close. They didn’t intend for a politician to line their pockets, to gain decades of seniority, and get to be millionaires in office either.”
