Jake Paul will be 35 in 2032, which i guess means he could run for president that year. Mr. Beast won't be able to run till 2036.

Both of these are nightmare options

Shit, beast is going to restart USAID just to create the most morbid possible humanitarian effort (televised on CBS, of course).

Malnourished kids are going to fight in a pit over chicken bones.

You're saying we get to watch this free or we have to pay?

Unfortunately it's going to come out of our tax dollars. So a little of both.

You need to be a certain age to run for president in America? I understand minors but I’m talking about adults.

Is there a reason for this? Is it experience?

Because if so surely there should be an max age limit too? You shouldn’t be able to run if you are nearly 80 with dementia…

Old people set the ages for office and for some reason they always forget the ceiling.

I don't really know the reason why 35 specifically. It's been that way since the Constitution was written. Maybe they felt anyone under 35 couldn't have had enough life experience to properly carry out the duties of office? As for why no max age limit, no clue there either

The reason is simply that the Constitution says so since the beginning.
