Given the Amateur Hours We've Been Seeing With the Freshman and Sophmore Class Members of Congress, Is it Time to Raise the Age Qualifications?

The Constitution sets the age qualifications so an amendment would be necessary.

Currently, the minimum age qualifications are:
25 House
30 Senate
35 President

Maybe we should bump them all up five years to:
30 House
35 Senate
40 President

Perception doesn't dictate policy.

Right now there's a pointed focus on the least seasoned people in Congress, but that's just the slant at the moment. They've always made up part of the government and probably always should.

@Graylight Lets remind ourselves that focus on the new kids was put there by the old white fat cats who have been milking the system for decades.

Keep in mind I'm not only talking about new Democrats but the class of Republicans elected with Trump as since then as well.
