    people age at different rates, but age limits seem like an easy answer to the complicated problem of removing someone from office when they show signs of being unfit. People like when it’s easy, but it doesn’t solve the actual problem. Someone with early onset dementia or some other illness that means they can’t effectively do their job is just as hard to remove. While preventing someone who’ll stay sharp until they die at 90 from doing a job they’re still capable of.

    I wonder if there’s a way to make it easier without making it too easy and able to be manipulated by bad actors.
