LETTER: Here’s something to consider when you vote for president this year

Both Joe Biden and Donald Trump are old. When one of these gentlemen wins the 2024 election, we face a strong possibility that whoever is elected may not live to serve out his full term. Just as with President Franklin D. Roosevelt, who died shortly into his fourth term, we face a strong likelihood that the recently elected vice president will become elevated into the presidency.
