Labels Change as Americans Live Longer, or Do They?

Age is an issue in the current presidential election with candidates being labeled at "too young" and "too old" for office. A recent Wall Street Journal article, " Who are you Calling Old? Labels Change as Americans Live Longer, but Age Still Plays a Role in Election" asks how much age should matter.

Test your presidential trivia:
Who was the youngest on ascension to office? On leaving office?
Who was the oldest?
What is the minimum age requirement for a President?

The article reminds us that a 45 year old and a 75 year old have the same mental capacity, and that energy is a function of health rather than age. Furthermore, life experience offsets normal brain decline and retrieval time.
