It would take a Constitutional amendment to fix this for the President, VP, SCOTUS Justices, Senators and Congresscritters, but we need mandatory retirement by age 80.

A long-serving person with a huge campaign chest and nearly universal name recognition is almost impossible to beat. Gerontocracy is the result, and it’s not serving us well.
