SAA and sickle flag? My feels are soooo mixed up now! :-P
We don't negotiate with terrorists.
Or unions.
What's the difference?
I can't even imagine that. That has to be some twisted socialistic/hedge fund symbolism.

Labels aren't helpful. Everything still needs to approved by the committee.We don't negotiate with terrorists.

In reality, I think it would be legit to have it be a candidate can't be elected to a term if they would be over 72 upon completion of that term. So effectively, 68. I think most folks have their faculties about them at those ages.I'm proposing a constitutional amendment, if we can limit the minimum age of a president, we should limit the maximum age. I propose that no president can be greater than 60 1/2 years old when sworn into office the first time. Yea, I just cut all of you boomers out of being president, sorry/not sorry.
Alternatively, same thing except for a max age of 70 - since that is maximum SS retirement age, which moves the ball to 66.
ETA: just read the posts on the age + service rule. Good enough, except you get 80 year old billionaires running.

That would be the only downside. There would have to be an income cut off which would require some information about the income you paid taxes on for the last 5 years. Over a million in income for any of those 5 years would lock out a lot of people. Probably disqualify a lot of people in congress also.

What does Nadler think of mail in voting? He doesn't seem to think much of paper ballots and how would mailing in paper ballots be more secure?
Nadler talks about paper ballots. Circa 2004

I know, right? Obama was so dreamy and cool. It's way better to have digital cred than a Second Amendment. Or a First.And thus it would probably be a good idea to have candidates that understood the dynamics of Twitter Time. Twitter time isn't going away anytime soon. Tik-Tok, Instagram, blah-blah-blah it's all here to stay. And having septuagenarians run our country doesn't seem like a great idea - in a world where communication and the ability to disseminate disinformation along with real information is measured in seconds.
For all his faults, Obama was not prone to the level of gaffe that Trump or Biden are prone to. He is a man who communicates exceptionally well and clearly, even if his administration was more opaque than the Great Wall of China. Trump doesn't even have the redeeming quality of being an eloquent and intelligent speaker.

It always sent a thrill up my leg when he would talk about redistributing my money.
