I think a 1-line amendment would be one of the more plausible amendments to pass.

"No person may be inaugurated as President if they are 70 years or older on the day of the election"

Neither party or area of the country would be impacted any more than any other, so there's no partisan angle. Just a few older politicians would be excluded.

That doesn't sound very democratic at all. If the people want to nominate older candidates in the primaries, who are we to criticize that? Isn't that what democracy is all about?

Most democratic processes have limits. While it's amusing to have subs named Boaty McBoatface, completely unfettered democracy isn't as amusing when there are serious consequences, such as long-term elections to national office.

We have primaries and qualifications for getting on the ballot, and while one might quibble about the exact details, I don't think most people would be happy if we somehow collectively elected a 10-year-old, or a goat, as President of the United States of America.

I disagree. The world needs more democracy, not less. I think the main problem is in how we are only allowed to vote on representatives and not on the actual issues. Take a look at Switzerland how their democracy is organized, with as much power with the local Gemeinde as possible and voting directly on whatever issue has been raised.
