26th Amendment - prohibits the states and the federal government from using age as a reason for denying the right to vote to citizens of the United States who are at least eighteen years old.
27th Amendment - prohibits any law that increases or decreases the salary of members of Congress from taking effect until the start of the next set of terms of office for representatives.
My guess is that they’d remain valid since each amendment was ratified by the States. But I’d like to see the 16th, 17th, and 20th abolished. Maybe the 23rd too.
I'd like to see the 26th abolished. The vast majority of 18 year olds barely even know how society functions let alone our government process, and it's no coincidence that Democrats have been pushing for lowering it further down to 16.
Set the voting age requirement back to 21; hell, I'd even raise it to 25.
Would you also raise the age of the draft?
Frankly, I'd abolish the draft.
If you mean raise the age requirement to be able to enlist: I'd keep it where it is.
And yeah I know raising or lowering age requirements for voting would trigger arguments like "If I can enlist at 18, why can't I drink beer at 18?"
No just draft age. Agreed if someone wants to enlist at 18, It's their adult choice. But to say you can't vote till x age draft would have to be at that age. Draft is necessary if we have massive issues.
