@RusA Oh... I though the world leader today just more and more younger, like Jasinda Arden the New Zealand PM, she was born in 1980 ,and President of Finland Sanna Marin has same age as mine, Finland located next to Russia and not in NATO, but u're right that USA mostly has more enemies than others
The Constitution says a President has to be at least 35 years old, but we have a custom of electing middle-aged men as President; most have been between 50 and 65. The youngest was Theodore Roosevelt, who as Vice President, became President at age 42 when McKinley was assassinated, and then John Kennedy was the youngest President elected in his own right at age 43. When Reagan was running for President, there was much concern that, at age 69, he was too old for the job. Now that we have a 78-year-old sitting President, that seems a little bit cute. Contrary to what's happening in other countries, our Presidents are just get older and older.
And yes, it's quite a different job to run a country like Finland or New Zealand that mostly minds its own business, than to run one like the United States that wants to have a finger in every pie across the globe. We look for someone who is mature, established, and has some experience at least in national politics, if not international affairs. Three strikes for Buttegieg, who is none of these, but just give him time and I think he'll be someone to watch.
