    Personally I think it should be a definition instead of a straight number

    Something like the current LD50 of old age or something.

      What is the minimum age to be eligible to the function?

      What is the life expectancy for the candidate’s gender?

      Life expectancy - minimum age of eligibility = max age of eligibility

        Right now that would restrict eligibility to be president down to between the ages of 35 and 41

        I’m no fan of gerontocracy but I’m pretty sure almost nobody who’s served as president would have been eligible under those restrictions.

          Well looks like they either have to work on increasing life expectancy for everyone or lower the minimum age or presidents will become very young, right? Either way, people win.

          By the way, that’s max 40 for men and 45 for women, so women presidents at last!

          Bring in the downvotes, my solution is the equivalent of what they’re doing to young people right now yet I haven’t seen anyone complain about it!
