@everyone Daily Question 🔖

Should age caps/limits be imposed on congressmen?

Unless they are in bad mental state i would say they are fine to serve, more experience even

Preferably yes, I think it should cap at 80

Beyond 80 it's just awkward

They're too old to have perfect motor function

Eh, I'm of the opposite opinion. No cap, but the minimum should be raised.

Why raised?

To what age?

25 year olds don't have enough stake in society (usually).

Isn't it 30 for rep

Cap at 70

And 35 for Senate

Minimum should be like 30 or something

I just looked. 25 for rep, 30 for senator

Ah

Up those by 5 each

And you have optimal age

Imo

Age is really not of my concern. You could be 50 for all I care and you should have no right to vote or hold office. If you don't have stake in the collective future of your nation, then you shouldn't be telling others how. You should be required to have children, really.

>you must have children to get your rights

Seems genius

Maybe that would be useful in social democracies but not in America

Individuals shouldn't be able to vote

Votes should be by family unit

The man gets a vote

That's very anti individualist

But a great way to surpress women

No one should be able to vote

^ in a proper world

2 terms, no minimum age, cap it at 60

Or just a decentralized direct democracy

direct democracy sucks though

Modern Democracy isn't the true democracy.

Back in Ancient Greece, where Democracy originated, the power was in the hands of the people. They had a council and they decided if the laws that <someone> suggested could pass and be applied. And they would pass if the majority of the council voted them. The council was held by wise people, teachers, etc.

There was a "President" who was commanding the army and also suggesting the majority of laws

So the people had the complete power

Δημοκρατία= Δήμος+Κράτος
Democracy=Demo+Cracy= People+State

It worked because only men voted

Only male citizens
