– William Butler YeatsIn Alabama no person can be elected or appointed as a full-time state or local judge once that person reaches age 70. For elected positions and judges in the federal government, however, age ain’t nuthin’ but a number after you meet minimum age requirements for the elected positions. Perhaps a better way to look at this is to ask what do elected officials owe us when it comes to their health? Ultimately, there is no one-size-fits-all solution when it comes to health and age for elected officials. My response would be that the high level of attention a president’s health receives likely prevented Biden from being elected to a second term.
