(22,619 posts)The Constitution provides a lower age limit for serving as POTUS, but no upper age limit. In other words, the Constitution itself declares that while people can be too young to be president, nobody is too old to be president.
But I would be curious to know from the people who voted that Biden is "too old" why you feel that way.
To be clear, this isn't some kind of gotcha, because I expect that the people who voted "too old" will still be voting for Biden in November anyway (assuming they're eligible to vote in the U.S. presidential election).
But I'm curious to know whether your concern that he is too old is rooted in the actual belief that he himself is not competent to be president (even though you will vote for him anyway), or whether it's more about political perception -- you're worried that other people won't vote for him because they think he's too old.
You don't have to answer of course, I'm just genuinely curious.
