    Why can’t America just have the average 40 year old for president

      Obama and gw were both in their early to mid 40s. Gw came from a political family but Obama was pretty average.

      I disagree. Find me a president that was under 50 that accomplished more than Biden. It’s not the age, but what they did for the American population.

          Sorta unfair since Teddy Roosevelt pretty much served 3 terms.

          Several U.S. presidents have served between the ages of 40 and 50 years old. Here’s a list of those who were inaugurated during this age range:

          1. Theodore Roosevelt - 42 years old
          2. John F. Kennedy - 43 years old
          3. Bill Clinton - 46 years old
          4. Ulysses S. Grant - 46 years old
          5. Barack Obama - 47 years old
          6. Grover Cleveland - 47 years old (first term)
          7. Franklin Pierce - 48 years old
          8. James A. Garfield - 49 years old

          I mean, outside of JFK. There weren’t really any other presidents that stood out. Why do you want a president that is in their 40s?

            Why do I want a president that’s 40 years old so they don’t die during there term and they don’t have dementia

              It would be nice, but there is little chance anyone else can beat trump. Let’s figure out who to vote for in 5 years when Trump is in prison.
