Is age really a limitation?

Barack Obama- First Black President of the United States
Prathima Patil- First woman president of India
X Y - First child president ever?
It's true that an adult would have more sense at a press conference, more grace on a podium and more sophistication on a red carpet. An adult may symbolize a stronger nation. But when you come down to the heart of it, a country wants a president that has their best intentions, for the country, not for themselves. And nobody is more honest or pure than a child.
It's often scietifically said that kids can be smarter than adults. They tend to find the simplest soloution in the toughest problems. And this is mainly because children don't have to think about where their loyalties lie or about political power. They just find the one answer that is the best for everybody. While it's true that an adult has a better understanding of world problems, its equally true that more than 35% of the population is children and young teenagers. How often are their problems focused on? And while it can be agreed that in countries like the United States or places in Europe are extremely child friendly, less can be said about places like India where there are safety problems, huge suicide rates in students and other different problems evolving children and young adults.
In fact, even in normal concerns, children are helpful. Children are generally more environment friendly than adults, follow rules more, and are more openminded.
I think that having a child as a president is sort of ridiculous but I do belueve that if a capable child, maybe at an older stage, is somehow connecetd to the goverment, it would benifit any country.
