Whether Biden or Trump wins this November, the sitting President will be over 80 years of age in 2028. Biden will be 86 years of age; Trump will be 82 years.

At that point we will have been governed by someone over age 70 for 12 years as of January 2029.

We have only had a few elderly Presidents before, but each has been problematic in their own way. William Henry Harrison died a month into office.

Eisenhower had potentially fatal health issues in his second term (heart attack and stroke).

There linger questions about the mental fitness of Ronald Reagan in his second term and whether or not prodromal Alzheimer's symptoms may have been experienced by him.

There are open questions and discussion over the mental competency of both Biden and Trump.

We already cap the Presidency to those at or above 35 on one end; why not limit it to those at or below 70 on the other?
