OF #10
I refer you to Art.6 Sect.2, and the 9th & 10th Amendments.
There's absolutely no stipulation in the Constitution authorizing our members of congress to wear pants, or clothing of any kind.
There is no explicit Constitutional prohibition against it.
And when I was 15 the voting age was 21.
Nixon lowered it to 18, to shed the heat against his critics that said:
- we're old enough to die for our country at 18,
- but we're not old enough to vote against the war you're killing us with until we're 21!
So Dickster the Trickster dropped the vote age from 21 to 18.
Not clear to me where your notion that the Constitution designates age 18.
You're referring to Amendment #26.
ARTICLE #26: Ratified July 1, 1971
SECTION 1. The right of citizens of the United states, who are eighteen years of age or older, to vote shall not be denied or abridged by the United states or by any State on account of age.
That's fine.
BUT !!
You're overlooking Sect.2
SECTION 2. The Congress shall have power to enforce this article by appropriate legislation.
And in the 3rd millennium, and considering the adversities our elections face from interference from both foreign and domestic sources, this proposal seems within the Constitutional powers congress is accorded by Sect.2.
We ALREADY have voter registration.
Why not at the time the voter registers, document the registration by administering a forgery resistant ID, with biometric double-check?
Our Constitution doesn't exclude ID. It merely enumerates that if the ID is implemented, the voter verify age 18.
