I've been thinking a lot about term limits lately, too. Kinda feeling that 60 should be the cutoff. If you can get elected into office at 59 years and 364 days old, no problem. Do your whole term. But you can't be re-elected.
That'd be for any and all elected offices. And a 'lifetime appointment' would end on the day you turned 70.
