We already have age limits at the lower end. Why are people so against age limits at the upper end?

So by that logic we should repeal the 22nd Amendment?

    Yah I think we should, it was literally just put in place because some people realized that a genuinely popular president could make serious positive changes that undermined extant power structures.

    If a totalitarian president were to take control of the government enough to continuously win elections without popular support, they could certainly ignore a term limit, so all it really does is prevent the public from re-electing presidents they legitimately like.
