          I agree Bernie is pretty sharp. But Bernie is, in many ways, a unique case. We have a minimum, 35, we should have a max, 65.

          That gives presidential candidates a good opportunity to gain life and work experience. It also keeps the ideas fresh and out of life long political careers. Anyone over 65 can be hired as a consultant, or one of many other positions. States obviously set their own rules for local governing, but I think it should apply locally too.
