@timrichards that's really not true - only Biden and Trump have been this old as President. Mid-50's is prolly the median. Reagan was 69 to 77 when in office and everyone thought he was ancient.

Others - ie, not the equivalent of Premier or Prime Minister - stick around forever because it's a cushy job they can sleep through

@timrichards just for funsies (and because anything to distract me from studying Japanese kanji... ) In your lifetime, Australia has had 4 elderly PMs, including two that governed past age 90
