Should 18 yr olds be allowed to run for President

[Classical_Liberal]

Yes or No? If no why not?

[Occulus]

1. No!

And, for that matter, No one under thirty should be allowed to run. That excludes me.

This said, thirty is still below the constitutional requirement. I do think it should be lowered slightly, but defititely not into the 20something area.

It's stimply too vast a responsibility to allow someone with relatively little life experience to deal with, IMO. Me, as president, as I am now?

NOT!!!

BTW, I'm 28.

2. Why the hell not?

It's up to the people, in a voting system that is working well.

3. It's working well?

Since when?

9. thats why I added that half sentence.

I belive BBV is a huge reality. In that case, we could run a welsh corgi and it would lose, we could find an exact replica of FDR and lose, etc...

B/C of the right wing voting machine coup.

4. That's a scary thought. I think of myself at 18 and president.

"Ok... let's legalize the following drugs.."

end the drug war.

8. We have a sociopathic eleven-year-old...

... in the office now. Shouldn't that be illustration enough of the need for maturity?

10. I'd like to know what prompted such a stupid question?

[Classical_Liberal]

11. It was moved from GD

for some reason? There were questions about immigrants running for President.

[Booberdawg]

12. I see.
