Popular Post heyitsmeallen Posted September 29 Popular Post Report Share Posted September 29 There is something seriously wrong with our system when we have senators dying of old age. They shouldn’t be able to serve after retirement age. headhunter, Number9, nine, and 3 others 5 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It would be ageism to set a defined limit where they can no longer serve. Is it ageism to make kids take a test for their license? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is it ageism to make kids take a test for their license? passing a driver's license exam is not the same as having someone take a mental acuity test that likely isn't black and white and would be open to interpretation. Want to get the geriatrics out of office, vote them out plain and simple. Or let the system box them out like it did with Feinstein in recent years. Forcing an age limit or mental test will never pass scrutiny in this day and age. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
LongTimeFan Posted September 29 Report Share Posted September 29 Mental acuity is individual. I am sure we all know younger individuals that ain't right and older people that are sharp as hell. Also, testing elected officials yearly gives a baseline at the start. Should also be extended to any appointed officials.

They should at least have to take mental competence tests once they hit 65. Mental decline usually begins around 70. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mental decline usually begins around 70. should we force known pot heads to take mental competency tests earlier then? See where this goes? Nevermind the fact these people are democratically elected by the people in their districts/states. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
