We already have age limits at the lower end. Why are people so against age limits at the upper end?

    There are plenty of older politicians who have good stances on those issues, and plenty of younger politicians with abhorrent views.

    Sure, older politicians are more likely to have outdated views, but if the voters oppose those views than they should vote them out.

    The issue of so many politicians being old and out of touch with the values of the citizens is merely a symptom of large problems in the electoral process and those issues would persist even if all the legislators had to be young.
