The better question should be why if there is bottom limit for age of candidacy, why there is no upper limit. If candidate needs to be adult at least 14 years he should be also at least 14 years away from average retirement age (63) so he will be productive, thus upper limit should be 49. Personally I wouldn't be so strict and let run anyone adult in productive age from 18-68 to avoid having there people with dementia like certain democratic president. What I would make another condition for all politicians is they must work at least few years in private sector before running for office, I don't really like we are often governed by people who "worked" whole life in comfort and safety net of their gov funded job with no risks and productivity requirements detached from experience of majority population. They should also pass basic test how much cost milk, bread, etc. and how to deal with daily scenarios.
