When are you too old to run for President?


In my opinion I feel that there should be a law that says something about an age limit, for when you would like to run for President. I feel this way because being the President of the United States comes with a lot of responsibility. By saying that, I mean sometimes the amount of stuff the President has to do can be very stressful. Nobody wants to have a President who cannot take a lot of work on their plate at one time. Being a President you need to come into the election preparing yourself to have your desk piled up with a ton of work. Majority of all the republican candidates are up in age, which in my opinion they should not even waste their time. Also, a President serves four years as President and can serve another term if elected again. For example, Newt Gingrich is 69 years old, Mitt Romney is 65 years old, and Ron Paul is 77 years old. All three candidates are in their late 60s or 70s and about time they get out of office they are going to be almost 80 years old. In conclusion, if you over the age of 70 before you get elected you should not be able to run for President of the United States.
