Should there not be a law about maximum age of a President? Trump will be 78 in 2024, Biden is almost at Weekend At Bernie’s stage. Pretty sure Pelosi is in her 80s. They should be playing with their grandkids and going to the shop at 6am, not controlling the biggest nuclear arsenal in the world.

I'd take Nancy Pelosi at 100 over Herschel Walker at 40.

There doesn't need to be an age limit because the electorate decides who gets the job, and if they're happy/unhappy with someoene being a certain age they make it known at the polls.

What's an emergency general election?

House by election or whatever they call them when they occur outside of normal election dates?

Personally I think demented senile pensioners should be well within their rights to hit the red button if they missed out by one number at bingo at the local community hall.
