Basically, adulthood should be the place between our youth and seniors, and that's who should be in office. While there are some young kids capable of doing well at those things, we make a blanket assessment. I'm cool with doing that for seniors, too.

While I'm not quite on board with 72 being the age for social security, I agree with all your other ideas. 

As far as the driver's licenses. I'm not saying automatically take them away at 70. I'm just saying that they should have to prove that they are still capable of driving without endangering everyone on the road by submitting to a driver's test. If they can pass it, they should have no problems taking one.
