The People of The United States of America petition The White House to lower the age of Candidacy to 23.

We believe youth leadership can be effective in all areas of our society, by guiding us in ways of peace and innovation. The youth of today have had more access to an abundance information making them more apt to lead than many of the youth of the past. Examples of young royals who rose to positions of extraordinary power are found in nearly every culture and civilization. But while most of these child rulers were simply figureheads until they came of age, others managed to lead empires, make influential laws and even fight wars—sometimes all before the age of 18.
