What do U think? What is the oldest age a person can effectively run the USA?

Reagan was just a few days shy of 70, and women live longer... not that I'm thrilled with a liberal running the country, but I don't see age as a limiting factor.

Here's the link: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Presidents_of_the_United_States_by_age It ranges in age from 42 to 69, but I don't know that age makes much difference. Far more important is experience and personal maturity. Unfortunately, those things are not usually apparent during campaigns, when everyone is on their best behavior. For the record, Hillary Clinton will be 66 in October. That means that by election day 2016, she will be 70 years old.

Age is a measure of years..Maturity/intelligence bespeak of how those years were spent. I think Hilary Clinton traveled her road of life well and productively, as with many of your other Presidents! But I do not see "years of life" as a deterent!

I don't want to discuss politics here as it can become heated and then MyLot will just delete the whole discussion for rule violations and I and all the rest of you will have wasted our time and whoever gets the most votes will be the next President anyway. I am starting to think my vote does not count anyway as I have voted wrong the lat two times. I would like to see a less liberal person run though. I agree with some of the other posts here I don't feel that age has much to do with it as how they have used those years does.
