: perhaps. The way things are done already in most other parties?
: Definitely.

You're already old enough for Congress (25).
At 30 you can run for Senate.
Only the Presidency requires 35 years.

At what age does the typical American stop daydreaming
about running for President as soon as he's eligible? ;)
