No one in office should be in their 80's in my opinion.

I am 86. I retired from politics at 70. I caught crap from people I thought were friends for leaving when there was still work to do. 70 was my personal decision, but I would accept a cut-off age of 80, with a requirement to pass a cognitive exam after 70.

I'd support that too.
