Over three-fourths of Americans think there should be a maximum age limit for elected officials, according to a CBS News/YouGov survey.

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.
Somebody said my name?
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.
I understand that you don’t think it is necessary, but I’m curious what your reasoning is, as to why?
Because it’s not the 18th century any more, and people have access to various cultures across the planet.
The idea that only someone born in your country knows it well enough to lead it is, frankly, stupid.
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.
It’s kind of what they built the country on, didn’t they?
That, and slavery of course. But that’s a different discussion.
In my opinion, you’re too naive to participate in this conversation constructively.
Well, your opinion doesn’t matter that much, so that’s fine.
I can’t hear your opinion over the upvotes I’m getting for my main comment
Might wanna recheck those upvotes big chief.
