POTUS..? Personally....and say it reluctantly...as right now he seems as capable and sharp as he always has...I believe the train has left the station...especially when u consider next election and administration isn't till 2020...over three years from now. ====================== " February 18, 2018 03:02 AM WASHINGTON Former Vice President Joe Biden is tiptoeing toward a potential presidential run in 2020, even broaching the possibility during a recent gathering of longtime foreign policy aides. Huddled in his newly opened office steps from the U.S. Capitol, Biden began a planning meeting for his new diplomacy center by addressing the elephant in the room. He said he was keeping his 2020 options open, considering it a real possibility.

As long as an individual can do their duties, I think age is irrelevant. Biden is currently 75. If he is a serious contender, he should make sure his VP has a similar vision for the US in case something does happen to him in office. Two Supreme Court Justices are above 80: threestory.com/scotus/There are currently 9 senators age 80 and up. infogalactic.com/info/List_of_current_United_States_Senators_by_ageI couldn't find a list of Representatives with a nice tidy table like the senators:  |

Our current POTUS was born in 1946. Not much difference in age. I think #45 acts older than Biden.  |
