Blanket amendment to the U.S. Constitution to reduce all age qualifications for federal elected offices to 18 years old.

Created by H.I. on December 19, 2015

Congress must amend the age qualifications to be a US Senator, Representative, President, & Vice President to 18 year of age. All voters currently do not have the right to elect into federal office a candidate age 18-29, 18-24, and 18-34. The Age Discrimination Act of 1967 prohibits age discrimination for those age 40 and above. Yet in Washington DC, a federally controlled district, the law is 18+, so current discrimination laws are unconstitutional which raises further negligence of the checks and balances system between the 3 federal branches. According to the US Census Bureau, about 73 million or roughly 25% of the population is between 18 and 34 years old. If you have the right to vote at age 18 then you should have the right to be an electable candidate to fully represent the People.
