Every adult should have an equal opportunity to run for presidency

SOMETIMES I’m glad I’m not young any more. Like when I look at opinion polls showing 64% of the population is against lowering the age at which a person can even try to be President to 21 years.

I didn’t say 14. I didn’t say 16. I didn’t even say 18, the age at which you should be able to run for the presidency if there were any justice. I said 21. The latest poll shows a thumping majority of voters are against it.
