Letter: Set a maximum age
I agree with Pat Lusch's idea of a person not being eligible to run for president of the United States once having attained his/her 70th birthday. I would also add that Supreme Court justices should be required to retire when they reach their 76th birthday. My brain is not as supple as it was when I was younger, and I am acutely aware of it. Let's follow the science concerning aging and declare 70 years, the oldest age a person can be when he or she runs for the presidency.
