Michael D Higgins and age factor.

On the up side, Presidential pensions for the current and previous Presidents are costing us a fortune and will continue to for years. We need to think about this when we decide that a young President is a good idea.

Just fix the pension thing so they only get their pension at retirement age.
 
nothing to do with age, just have it as a precondition that any prospective president must satisfy a medical either pre or post election.

Why, exactly? And what use is a medical post-election? Do we then have to vote again if the medical is failed?
