Stanley Schmidt May The Best Man Win - conto em Analog março de 1971. Eles querem ignorar o tecnicismo e nomeá-lo independentemente. Mas ele ressalta que, se a dilatação do tempo for ignorada, não apenas ele pode correr, mas sua filha de nove anos pode votar nele, já que ela nasceu antes de deixar a Terra, décadas atrás.
He is persuaded to go ahead anyway. His manager says "What we need in a President is not chronology and years - it's leadership. Do you honestly believe that you, with your thirty-four years of leading people through crisis after crisis and coming out on top [are] less fit to be President than those other guys with their fifty years of fund-raising dinners and smoke-filled rooms? You can't believe that - -Look, the law's going to have to get more complicated on this age business. Right? So why not take the chance to recognise that maybe the way to complicate it is to scrap the age criterion - - give them an incentive to find another yardstick that means more - after the election. Because you - - are the best presidential material the country has seen in twenty years".
