Summary
Proposing an amendment to the Constitution of the United States to establish an upper limit on the age of eligibility for service as President, Vice President, or Member of Congress.
Plain-language summary
This bill proposes a constitutional that would set a maximum age limit for people running for or serving as President, Vice President, or Member of Congress. Currently, the Constitution sets only minimum age requirements for these offices, not maximum ones. The bill does not specify what the age limit would be. As a constitutional amendment, it would need approval from two-thirds of both the House and Senate, then ratification by three-fourths of state legislatures. The bill was recently introduced and has not yet moved through the legislative process.
