On: U.S.-Saudi petrodollar pact ends after 50 years

I think the parent comment is commenting on presidential candidate ages, which has had two consecutive new records in age and incumbency didn't seem to factor.

  Prompt: list of us presidents and their year of birth and age when elected 

You will see a list with few year of birth regressions and most ages in 50-60. Two years of 70+ is an outlier.

Incumbency is why younger options aren't being considered. It's more of an "in spite of" rather than "because of" situation.
