The US founding fathers decided that the president has to be at least 35, which to me implies that those individuals have had some political experience before becoming president.
It’s also worth noting that, when the Constitution became a thing, vaccines had yet to make their big change on stage. So, the typical life expectancy was to about 35-ish at the time.
People often have misconceptions about life expectancy in the past. The reason why it was so low was because of childhood/infant mortality. If you made it past early childhood your chances of living decently long were fine. This is not to say that there weren’t tons of hazards. Diseases and medical conditions that are easily avoidable today weren’t back then.
And given what RFK Jr. Is doing now, we will be seeing a resurgence of that in the US today.
