Do you think 80 years old is too old to hold office?

We should have mandatory retirement

Yes!

You should not be able to run after 75

There also should be term limits like the President - 2 terms Senate, 4 terms for Congress.

This may be the answer you seek, but well into his 90s:

Five US senators are over 80 years old, and they don't even have term limits.

I think we need term limits for all elected people, and we need more democracy. Voters can vote against politicians who act too old.

Age limits .. would not be a horrible thing

Otherwise a complete battery of tests done by a non-interested group for mental and physical capacity, knowledge of the constitution and US history, and manners/ethics

Schumer should retire and go into seclusion.

are too old to be in charge of anything. And Babylon is paying a price that is not yet full blown. The nation needs an honest uncorrupted leadership. That’s a pipe dream given the moral decline of the population and its leaders. Fraud is rampant. Insiders ripping off the American People. So blatant. Try and find someone youthful and moral to stick their neck out and go after the corrupt. They’ll last even less time than did President John Kennedy.
