I’m not up on Naboo politics, guess she had a good speech writer. She was the youngest ever elected (was her successor younger still?) Maybe it’s the idea that the kids have a better idea of where things need to go than the adults.

Pro: Not yet made cynical by real-world politics, thus motivated by idealism when making laws.

Con: Won’t put down their phone long enough to attend cabinet meetings.

I know! Or as a president even, when a twelve year old is just fine.
