“Rahm Emanuel, a prominent Democrat who has signaled his desire to run for president in 2028, on Wednesday called for a mandatory retirement age of 75 for the president, cabinet officials, members of Congress and federal judges,” the New York Times reports.

1. What a revolutionary idea!

It’s a good thing every voter under 30 already thought of it.

Emmanuel will not be the nominee in 2028.

His role is to pressure the candidates that do have a chance at winning the nomination to move to the right and embrace the “abundance agenda” Trojan Horse.

2. I call for a zero Rahm Emanuel limit for President

He's delusional if he thinks he has any chance whatsoever

3. A lot of people on this site have said similar

4. 70. Nothing more for congress or senate as well.

5. Well, that's

not what our Constitution says.

So, if you are elected President at 73 years of age, you can only serve for two years?

7. I call for Rahm Emanuel to get out of politics and leave the public alone for the rest of his years.

He's not a good person or a positive asset to the Democratic party. He needs to be shown the door.

I don't think much of his siblings either.
