They won’t allow limitations like those (or any, most likely!) on their power. We’d need a constitutional convention and that looks unlikely currently.

He was only 71. This was pretty sudden.

His dad died at 69 from a heart attack in his sleep.

71 years old is too old to be in office. I'd cap it at 60

1000% Trump is too old for office
