I really liked her and her opinion was often something I learned from.
I do think there should be a mandatory retirement age in the Supreme Court.
I also think so for being president or governor.
I think that RBG was laser sharp till the end but I can think of many presidents and wannabes that are and were not.
I don’t want that to devolve into a political debate over specific candidates. It is just a fact that on average health and cognitive abilities and flexibility decline with age. An for one of the most difficult and stressful jobs in the world you need to try and ensure someone who is still on top of their game.
For POTUS we have a law stating the minimum age for the president. Since we already have that imposing a maximum age is reasonable and not ageist
Or I would support doing away with both and define a series of physical, cognitive tests as well as knowledge of the world and general knowledge. All of which would score a candidates suitability for the job. To be administered by a non partisan agency that is aggressively independent from new or old administrations. That would have weeded out some horrific presidents we have had. And will have.
