Okay, apologies if this question seems inconcise or unclear.
Some background, first:
The world is ours, except that superheroes have existed since the WWI era. And sometime in the 80's, a series of catastrophies ended up with most of the world's powered heroes being dead, vanished or quit. It also ended up with a villain who dominates the world and requires world leaders to submit themselves to her as sacrifices. Consequently, offices like the President are often elected to people who annoyed the wrong person in power.
One of the principle characters in the story I'm working on is the newly-elected President. She's the latest in a line and got the job because the election was rigged. This character before she annoyed just about the worst person possible, was an Army Sniper. She also wasn't fresh out of Fort Benning, but had seen combat in a few scenarios, specifically against metahumans. My question is an age-based one.
Bearing in mind that the hard 35-year age requirement for Presidency is not as much of a concern, what would the minimum believeable age for somebody with such military experience be? Early to mid-thirties? Younger?
Sorry about the rambly nature of this question. Because there's a lot of speculation wrapped up in the background, I had to rewrite it a few times to get to the point, but I can elaborate on some points in necessary.
