    But where do you draw the line in a way that wouldn’t be heavily abused for political purposes? I’m not very interested in the idea of evaluating people’s morbidity as a qualification for office. There are succession procedures and chains of authority to handle these things. It’s one thing to argue about age’s impact on current mental or physical faculties if those are inhibiting performance, but I do not want hypothetical deaths factoring in.
