Yeah, but Clinton took office 30+ years ago. Bush took office 25+ years ago.

I get that they're old today, but that would be like 20 years from now saying Obama is too old to be president. Which 20 years from now WOULD be true, except that his term was 2009-2017.

Biden and trump? Yeah, I fully get why they're too old.
