Should their be an age cuttoff for running for President?

We already have a minimum age of 35 so I don't see how having a age limit around 60-65 or less would be such a bad thing. Hillary and Trump seem to be very secretive about their health.

Curious to hear @Eddie Braverman" 's take since he had a similar post regarding voter age limitations.

I agree in theory, but it really depends on the person - there are some pretty sharp and healthy 70 year olds

I don't think there should be an age minimum nor an age maximum. If a 10 yr. old wants to run for president, more power to them. If a 100 yr. old wants to run for president, more power to them. In the latter case if they die we have a hierarchy determined by the constitution on who succeeds said president. As a nation of checks and balances we sure like to behave like the president acts as some unilateral monarch, the fact is Tim Kaine wouldn't be much different from Clinton as president from a policy standpoint.
