Analysis: The highlights of Bidens Cancer News must be faced with age in US policy

Do you remember when the rent was too high?

Today America's politicians are too old.

And President Joe Biden's largest (unintentional) legacy could be to get America's political system to finally face the problem.

When news broke out on Sunday evening via bidens diagnosis of prostate cancer with metastasis to bones, there were many sympathy expressions from both sides of the gang.

“Melania and I are sad about the latest medical diagnosis by Joe Biden.

At home, the US Senator Maggie Hassan said that she was “deeply sad about hearing these terrible news. My prayers are with President Biden, Jill and her family.”

But while many Americans were likeable, none of them were surprised. An 82-year-old man with prostate cancer is about as shocking as a 21-year-old with a hangover after the frat party. It is an age -related result that we expected.

The US constitution deals with the questions of excessive teenagers. The requirement that a candidate must be at least 35 years old to serve as president can be found in Article II, Section 1. The age requirements for the US house (25) and the Senate (30) have been found in Article I.

Our system recognizes that a candidate can be too young for a high public office. Why not too old?

The embarrassing details that pour out mental sharpness during the office have provoked a flood of fingers. Some accuse reporters who defended bidens obvious frailty instead of reporting the hard facts. Jake Tapper by CNN accused Biden critics that he, for example, mocked bidies to avoid control, argue.

Others accuse the elected democrats such as Hassan, who had also told the voters to the president after Biden's catastrophic debate performance and earned for four years.

The former chairman of the Democratic Party in New Hampshire, Kathy Sullivan, defended Biden this weekend and asked the Democrats to “no longer keep their pearls”, about the revelations of bidens of lack of mental competence and instead return to the attack republicans.

“It's ridiculous,” said Sullivan. “You will apologize every minute for FDR.”

Still others say that there is only one man who blames, and that's bidding himself. He knew that he was not up to the job. He campaigned to serve a single semester, and then he decided to run again. It's all Joe's fault – no joke!

But instead of guilt, this is one of these rare political problems with a simple and obvious solution: don't let old people serve as president.

The change in the US constitution is never easy (this is a feature, no mistake), but it can be done. And in the current climate it is easy to see, as a change application reads: “Nobody can serve after her 80th birthday in the elected German office” by the congress and further to the states.

This change would be supported by some of the biggest names of American politics – Rep. Nancy Pelosi (85), Senator Mitch McConnell (83), Rep. Jim Clyburn (84) and maybe even Trump, who is a youth 78 – whether they like it or not – to like it or not.

(Don't worry, Maga voter, the change would only come into force after leaving the office.)

Democrats' decision to ignore bidges and strengthen it in 2024 looked risky at the time. In retrospect, it is both detention -worthy and self -destructive. And don't forget that his brother Frank, the correspondent Nancy Cordes, the head of the White House of the White House of CBS News, finally broke out when biden broke out: “I will have him back to enjoy the time we still have.”

If it turns out how many believe that bids and his family knew that he had cancer months ago and that he still decided, this would tighten the disaster of the Democrats. It also adds that this decision has taken very older candidates out of their hands.

There is an argument that the voters will solve this problem. Senator Jeanne Shaheen decided not to run for another term at 79. Would she have made the same decision if not the example of the bidding example nearby and at the center of the voters?

Another option for voters to remedy this is the determination of the constitution. Joe Biden's example is every reason for this.
