Face It: Biden and Bernie Are Too Old To Be President cfif.org/v/index.php/co… via @CFIFonline
Biden, leading the RealClearPolitics average of polls, will be 78 years old on Inauguration Day 2021. Sanders, No. 2 in the field, will be 79. Both would be older upon taking office than Ronald Reagan was when he left office after two terms.
Americans elect a president with the understanding that he or she might serve eight years. If that were the case with a President Sanders, he would be 87 years old on leaving office, and a President Biden would be 86.
According to actuarial tables maintained by the Social Security Administration, the life expectancy of a 70-year-old man is 14.30 years — enough time to serve two terms and move on to physical decline. T
The life expectancy of a 78-year-old man is 9.33 years -- enough to last two terms and not a lot more. The life expectancy of a 79-year-old man is 8.77 years -- barely enough to make it out of the White House alive!
President Trump, will be 74 years old on the next Inauguration Day. Unknown is whether Democrats will choose a candidate who is even older, or whether they will give voters a generational choice. First the Democratic Party has to go through a generational reckoning of its own.
