| The U.S. Constitution sets strict age requirements for election into federal office -- twenty-five for the House, thirty for the Senate, and thirty-five for the presidency. Do you agree with these age stipulations/restrictions?

| Yes I agree with the restrictions. lol While I am sure that many younger people would be much more mature than the folks we let in, the good younger people could still benefit from more life experience before being ready to serve in public office.

| It's worked this long - not a major issue. We can also see the correlation of the House of Reps being the House of Commons and the Senate being the House of Lords with differing requirements.
Remember just a couple years ago when some idiots wanted to change the "native born" requirement for president so the then popular Austrian Governator would be able to run? See why we should really reflect on some constitutional changes? | |

| I don't want a 20-something president. I think the restrictions are fine the way they are. | |

 Considering the life expectancy at the time the Constitution was written, 35 was middle aged. | |

| Yeah, what everybody else said. Leave them alone. It's not like 35 is old anyway. | |
