Do you think age is important?

Our founders felt that a certain amount of maturity was needed. There are also minimum ages for House of Representatives & Senate. Many statews have minimum ages for various offices for the same reason.
I wouldn't be comfortable with a 25 yr old president.

they could be 25 and a naturalized American Citizen - which potential could be distant places born yet a citizen whilst elected - comparable with the Senate however the age is 30 -- President could be 35 and born American Citizen - (the Govornator of California can no longer run for Pres )

Age for the most part speaks to maturity and experience though this is not always the case; however, society in general seems to deem that age is important enough in some cases. You really wouldn't want an 18 year old occupying the office of president would you?

Yes maturity. Look at the Great Communicator, Ronald Wilson Reagan!
