Also, before anyone corrects OP, Theodore Roosevelt was the youngest president to assume the office. JFK was the youngest elected president.

Oh yeah sure because that's a far simpler solution.

Actually, I dislike term limits. If a president is good enough to keep getting elected, that is the will of the people. Term limits seem a bit anti-democratic in a way. The people were not forced to vote for FDR 4 times (I dislike FDR but obviously most Americans loved him). Also, term limits have not ensured that the USA gets good leaders.

There's a disturbing trend of both older politicians and older voters favoring what interests elders at the expense of younger generations. This kind of bias is detrimental to the nation's future. Age does not equal wisdom no matter how many Facebook Boomer memes say otherwise. Hard cap at 60 and no older; after that they have to retire.
