Over three-fourths of Americans think there should be a maximum age limit for elected officials, according to a CBS News/YouGov survey.
And yet we have minimum age requirements. Why does your bullshit argument about voter autonomy not apply there?
Why do you assume people like minimum age requirements either?
The Constitution is difficult to change. I’d get rid of the “natural born citizen” bit too.
You’re right, America would totally be better if we let preteens and foreign assets hold major legislative seats, totally wise outlook you’ve got on the topic here 🤡
“Foreign assets”
So if somebody came at 5 years old, grew up their whole life in the US, was a citizen, and millions of Americans wanted to pick them as their president…
They shouldn’t be accepted because they’re a foreign agent?
In my opinion you’re either a citizen or you’re not. There should be no difference.
I don’t think many people would vote for preteens or foreign assets.
Running a campaign does not mean you win, and if you’re unlikely to win, you’re unlikely to get enough support to run.
Also foreign-born Americans can be elected to the legislative branch. Ted Cruz is a notable example.
Might wanna know what you’re talking about before calling someone a clown.
Out of curiosity, what is your justification for removing a natural born citizen clause?
I don’t believe that being a natural-born citizen adds any value to potential elected leaders in the modern era.
In my opinion, you’re too naive to participate in this conversation constructively.
