I read somewhere that U.S. Presidents and world leaders mentally peak in their 50's. Further, I've seen suggestions that there should be a "maximum age requirement" for the U.S. Presidency.
If that were to happen, why limit it to the Oval Office ?
It should then be the rule for ALL congressional members, cabinet members et cetera.
Heck, why stop there...how about doing the same for CEO & President's of businesses critical to the U.S. infrastructure:
1. AT&T Inc. (NYSE:T)
2. Comcast Corporation (NASDAQ:CMCSA)
3. Union Pacific Corporation (NYSE:UNP)
4. CSX Corporation (NASDAQ:CSX)
5. American Tower Corporation (NYSE:AMT)

Oh, wait...all of these individuals will just find a doctor(s) to say they were tested and have good cognitive awareness or whatever. It is similar to Doctors saying that the daily cheeseburger eater Donald Trump is
"not overweight and in good health".
Yet,
cognitive tests are not the only tests to determine a person's mental abilities such as: awareness of people, time, and place (orientation). There are also
neurological tests and
brain scans to make assessments of memory, problem-solving, language skills, math skills, as well as balance, sensory response, and reflexes.
Maybe at the minimum, the above tests should be by a neutral doctor for anyone listed in the primaries...before the main political elections.
