AOC president when?
AOC legally becomes old enough in October of '24. You have to be 35.
Very odd rule. I just passed 35 recently and i feel like I'm slowly dying already. Feels like a struggle to learn new things
Damn dude, good luck. 35+ I feel like I'm just hitting my stride.
35 in 1787 is way different from 35 in 2023. :)
I think this is exactly the metric our geriatric Congress was going for.
Around the same age here, and I feel I would have made a much better president in my mid 20s than I would now, for sure.
Jesus fuck, no thank you. People in their 20s are absolute idiots.
It depends on the person entirely. Some mid 20 year olds are absolute idiots, but some boomer age people are absolute idiots. I don't think age is really a factor in that.
I think it was to prevent family legacies making the office more like royalty.
Can one run for president “early” if one will be old enough during election/potential presidency?
In theory, you just have to be 35 to be President.
If she ran, she would turn 35 a month before election day and would be 35+3 months when sworn in.
The youngest elected US President to date was JFK, who was 43.
Theodore Roosevelt was 42 when he assumed office after McKinley was assassinated.
Interesting, thank you!
If you're republican you can run when you're 20 yo Canadian and just claim funding furthers didn't really mean it like that.
Damn, I can't wait til she's legal!
Remind me 9 months, 1 week. ;)
