Have there ever been maximum age limits for public office in the United States?
Upvote:5
As of 1912, Article 77 of Part 2 of the New Hampshire constitution said:
No person shall hold the office of judge of any court , or judge of probate , or sheriff of any county , after he has attained the age of seventy years.
This is still current, but article 78 now.
Also, there was a US Senate rule added in 1963:
No Member of the Senate may serve as chairman of a standing committee of the Senate after he has attained the age of seventy years
Deacon Daniel Babc**k was a judge in Washington County, Rhode Island (see Westerly Rhode Island and Its Witnesses, page 177). Many states place age limits on judges, but I haven't come across any evidence so far that Rhode Island did.
