why 73? which 74 year old are you wanting to oust? lol

That brings back some memories of a former US president. https://youtube.com/watch?v=Yq7FKO5DlV0

And to answer OP question :

This was an engagement bait question on Reddit that was frequently posted. It seems so far Lemmy is overwhelmingly in favor just like reddit probably as the population is not old (I'm not either).

I don't know how I feel about it as the constant repost and bait question were something I disliked on Reddit.

certainly. even lower. Some people can be vigorous in their seventies but they are not the majority, 50's many go down. That is one problem with raising the retirement age in general. There is only a subset that can keep working as age goes up.

Needs to be a little lower

No, because democracy. But we shouldn't vote for these old guys

Not for House or Senate. Age just isn't a close enough metric for what you're trying to fix.

If you're concerned with age-related decline, vote them out if you see signs of it, or if they would reach whatever age your limit is during the term.

If you're concerned about longevity in office, use term limits or reform campaign finance such that longevity in office doesn't grant too high of an incumbent advantage.

SCOTUS, sure. I think Canada has appointments until 75. Does not seem meaningfully different from appointments for life except less randomness on open slots.

No. Because as time goes on, 75 will be younger and younger.

Their age doesn't affect me in the slightest.

60*

Term limits please

Yep.
