      Is there a reason for this? Is it experience?

      Because if so surely there should be an max age limit too? You shouldn’t be able to run if you are nearly 80 with dementia…

        I don’t really know the reason why 35 specifically. It’s been that way since the Constitution was written. Maybe they felt anyone under 35 couldn’t have had enough life experience to properly carry out the duties of office? As for why no max age limit, no clue there either
