If so, why, to what age - higher or lower? And if not why not?

Yup, we currently see a 3 year old at work!! The mental age for a US president should be raised to 11.

I would say the age is pretty good..if changed it should be lowered to 30. but I think I like 35 as age.
By the way we made president have to be former military we are just asking for a military coup..that was the whole reason president is a civilian and doesn't need military service..so that it is open to everyone. Before we make any military requirement there should be an IQ requirement

I think it is perfectly fine where it is at. Though i think to some extent you should have the right to vote if the federal government taxes you in some manner. Therefore the voting age should be lowered to 16 or 16 and 17 shouldn't have to pay Social Security Tax and all that other garbage when they work.

If there is a minimum age of 35, shouldn't there be a maximum too?! Let's use reverse psychology. If we start a move toward adding a maximum age of, say 65, there will be an uproar that it's age discrimination. In that case so is the minimum age of 35. No age restrictions would be interesting in terms of who would run for office.

No, but I do believe it should be changed to consider being a former active military person! How can you be in charge of such a huge amount of people and armament if you have no idea what's it's like to live it?
So Bill Clinton and GW should have never been allowed to run let alone serve as President.

It should stay at 35, but there should be a test on the Constitution & Amendments and if you don't get 100% on it - you don't get on the ballot. Period. Also, you should be required to do volunteer work for organizations both right and left wing to make you see how things effect people of all walks of life.
