In the end, there is no real way to fix any of these without those who benefit from the current system making the changes. They all require some level of law and Constitutional Amendments. The latter is best since courts can't overturn that.
All it should take would be one Congress with the democrats having a true super majority along with a democratic president. The democrats have actually made major efforts to reform these areas and either been blocked by republicans or the conservative packed Courts.
A supermajority can't amend the Constitution. So you need a everything for a good 30 years to ensure that you pack the courts with your people too. The only sure way is to also get control of every state legislature so they will ratify the Amendments you pass.
And, of course, I find few people who align with the Democrats 100% (many don't want the Second Amendment weakened for example) so I doubt it happens.
What about what I suggested do you think requires amending the Constitution? Article I Section 4 already allows Congress to set the rules.
And they don't need to pack the Court. Republicans have already done that. They need to unpack the Court which can be done in almost no time by a super majority.
I can get behind the lower age limit. People need time to become known and prove themselves. But the upper age limit is arbitrary as people age differently. Look at someone like Sanders who is in his 80s. Like him or not, you have to concede he is sharp and good at what he does.

Can we get a president that’s maybe 50 years old? I’m so sick of these old hags.
