This makes the age limits for Congress & the WH set forth in the constitution even more interesting.

The U. S. Constitution, our real 'founding', happened in 1789->1791, so add 13 years to their ages.

There were 56 men who signed the Declaration of Independence, why highlight just these 9 only? Seems like selective misleading information. Benjamin Franklin? Samuel Adams? John Adams? But then I鈥檓 note sure what the point is.

Note: James Monroe, Aaron Burr, John Marshall, and Alexander Hamilton did NOT sign the Declaration of Independence in 1776. So what were they doing in 1776?

Yes, they also didn't usually live as long in those days. 30s was already middle aged.
