Yes, and politicians of any age should be required to pass a mental competency test

No, mental competency is too subjective

Yes, and ban anyone over the age of 75 from running for office

Yes, but as long as the test itself is liable to change through some democratic process. Also, every politician should be required to take the test.

No, this discriminates against older politicians

No, I would prefer term limits instead

No, our government needs experienced leaders
