Are term limits off the table?

Why would anyone vote to be out of a job?

Term limits is just one of those things minority parties whine about because they want to be the majority.

(unless you are asking if we support it and in that case I am 50/50)

You have to be 35 to run for President, is my point. How would a maximum limit be unconstitutional but not a minimum limit?



Again, honestly asking here, not arguing.

Because it's literally in the constitution as a requirement. There's no maximum age in the constitution.

Courts have consistently held that you can't place any extra conditions on federal offices besides what's already in the constitution without amending the constitution.
 
I think swan is asking why can't we have an amendment. Correct me if I'm wrong swan.

and the answer to that is we could, we just won't because we're closer to a constitutional amendment banning democrats than anything not fascist.

I mean, it surely doesn't help that Kepler muddied the waters with his philosophical rant about adults versus children that could've been stolen straight from a Thomas opinion rather than just giving the simple answer that the minimum age is in the Constitution.

This.

There are four minimum ages in the Constitution: 18 for voting (26th Amendment), 25 for the House (Article I), 30 for the Senate (Article I), 35 for President (Article II).

The only way to add a maximum age is by Amendment.

For clarity, the 26th only says you have to allow 18 year olds to vote. It doesn't prevent states from allowing younger people to vote if they want.

We might be closer to a constitutional convention.

The Nazis really want this and it's probably the way democracy would die for good in the US, if that were ever to happen.

They know they are at most 30% of the population, and less each year as the white derp percentage drops and people become more educated and less religious. It is much more likely they will attempt to attain permanent minority authoritarian rule this way than by direct use of paramilitary force, if only because the Plutes would cut a deal with them to end taxation and regulation, whereas they would not back a civil war because of the risk to their personal wealth.

Brain drain, like Ohio and Michigan? Where are the capable people going? Minnesota?

Metro areas. Twin Cities, Madison, Milwaukee, Chicago. Gerrymandering is containing them.

Those who remain in the rural areas are:

So basically the same problem with every other state.

Basically... Blue tends to congeal together where as Red enjoys spreading out and being by themselves.

I'd be willing to bet that "Red" counties probably cover 65-70% of the US's land.
