    In Germany, after you get your drivers license (usually) at the age of 18, your licenae will never be questioned again and you'll keep it until the day you die. Unless you voluntarily decide to return it. Guess, how many do.
    One effect of being - I don't know the correct english expression, let's call it "age impaired" -is that you don't know you're "age impaired". But that's of no fault of the old, they just don't know better. That's a thing, the caring people should have prepared for. And in the case of Joe Biden, they didn't.
    Sadly, that's one major fallacy of power - they never prepare for a successor, because of a fear of others becoming a competitor. And that is why Trump will win. I wouldn't care if it was just about the US. But sadly, Europes leaders attached our fates to a country with which we have very little in common.

      In Portugal after the age of 75, a doctors assessment is needed to renew the drivers license, and for truck drivers and public transportation drivers like bus drivers it's at the age of 60.

    Okay Mr. William Hague. We will tell NATO that you want the American president to go. I mean he is surrounded by experts that he listens to. Experts the UK only wishes they have. But if you want America to walk away it will save us money. But I have an idea. maybe you should ask the King? The King has no power but he is old as well and you ask for him to approve.

      ​@@Gnosticware William Hague is not flying over to the US to persuade the Democrats to remove Biden. It is his opinion that he is free to have. As absurd and inapplicable as your comparison is, many in the US already did, and still do make their opinions clear on Brexit, and often still either condemn or discuss it to this day. They are free to have that opinion, similarly with how Hague is free to believe that the Democrats suggest that Biden shouldn't run.
