    Well with mental decline there’s actual diagnostic standards that can be applied to determine the statistical average.

    Like I said, we already have a general range, and a more precise number which can flex as statistics change wouldn’t be that much harder to achieve.

    I believe putting it under standards of medical and mental diagnosis protects it once it’s set in as a norm, a number is just a number, but a calculated number based on medical statistics exposes anyone challenging it to accusations of trying to weaken the government by opening the door for people in mental decline to cling on to power.

      Agree. There are actual cognitive tests that exists today and that’s used by medical personnel.

      They could be purpose to test those in office as they get older, the same way that pilots have to get tested medically to maintain their license.
