Politics with Paul Podcast #1 - The Debate Over Age Limits on Government Officials

from Politics with Paul · host Paul Rader

Calls for implementing maximum age limits on our government officials have increased as of late. But the debate is often made out to be far simpler than it actually is. In today's episode, I dive into the arguments that supporters and opponents of a maximum age limit make. Then I talk about what other factors must be accounted for if we were to have a maximum age limit, such as what that age would be and consideration of political incentives. Finally, I then go into what potential alternatives might be proposed instead of an age limit. Today's end-of-episode random question: What Olympic sport, that you don't already play, would you most want to be good at?
