Candidates Who Have Expired Already

"As every grocer knows, many products have sell-by dates. Bread lasts a day or two, milk maybe a week. Well, presidential aspirants have a sell-by date, too. They last 14 years."

OK I'll bite: Why 14 years (7 congressional election cycles, or 3.5 Presidential election cycles)?
