    I don’t see why not? I can’t run for president at 31. Additionally, it is up to each state to define how its elections are held, and that’s delineated in the constitution as well.

      The minimum age requirements are in the Constitution, so it would be hard to challenge them. There’s nothing about a maximum age.

      On the other hand, the supreme Court very recently ruled that Colorado couldn’t keep Trump off the ballot in that state.

      At the very least, this seems wide open to be legally challenged.

      There is no limitation on length of age in the constitution. In order to change that, a constitutional amendment is needed. A state cannot decide. It is plainly unconstitutional.
