75 and Out? The Growing Case for Age Limits in Government

75 and Out? The Growing Case for Age Limits in Government

Should there be a mandatory retirement age of 75 for the president, cabinet officials, members of Congress, and federal judges? Inspired by comments from former congressman, White House chief of staff, Chicago mayor, and ambassador Rahm Emanuel, Michael Smerconish digs into America’s growing discomfort with aging leadership. With some of the oldest elected officials in U.S. history still wielding power, is it time for age limits — or should voters decide at the ballot box? Michael examines polling data, constitutional hurdles, existing retirement rules in other professions, and historical examples of extraordinary leadership later in life — all while previewing today’s Smerconish.com poll question - listen here, then vote!
