The president of America appears to poop his pants and immediately ends a press conference (Forbes video that doesn't mention the pooping, but you hear it on mic) (youtu.be)

Eh, the age limit should be the same as the general age of pension, and it should only apply for being able to be voted in.

This means that if you get voted in at 65, than you are able to serve that term, but nothing longer.

And what of appointed officials, like Supreme Court justices?

[–] Aljernon@lemmy.today 1 points 23 hours ago

I think SC justices should have terms. Make em long terms if you'd like but still limits. And again, no one over 65.

I just had a look at the equivalent of the US suppreme court here, "Högsta förvaltningsdomstolen", and the officers of the court serve until retirement.

Seems resonable to me.

It is the same here. But they often decide to "retire" at death, i.e., lifelong tenure.

[–] stoy@lemmy.zip 3 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Yeah, forced retirement at the national retirement age?

[–] Echolynx@lemmy.zip 1 points 1 day ago

Oh my bad, I misread earlier. Yeah, it should be forced, but here it is not.
