Proposed Constitutional Amendment.
Hello, I am trying to gain momentum for my proposed constitutional amendment. I am curious to hear what you all think about it. For too long Gen Z has gone without rights which could have greatly benefited us and other generations. My proposal is to decrease the age to run for the senate and house to both 18 years of age. I believe this will be greatly helpful for our generation in a multitude of ways. First, it will give us long needed rights. Our country has given rights to the groups that have needed it the most, and I believe our group needs these rights the most now. The second is it’s time to bring some new ideas into these chambers, a new perspective that only our generation can bring to the table. We have been there with their long out of touch politics for a while, so it’s time for a change. In South Korea and Canada they both allow 18 year olds and older to run for their National Assembly and Parliament. You don’t hear complaints about the young people there though, you heard complaints about Trudeau and the president who shut his country down and then was impeached. Many people have told me that people of age are simply too immature to run for office, my rebuttal is have you seen how members of congress on both sides of the ails act, it’s insane! They’re screaming and cussing, cussing at reporters, and getting into fights with podcasters. I think adding a few young people to those chambers would not change that. Also, in a poll released by Gallup in March of 2026, Congress had a 86 percent disapproval rating and only a 10 percent approval rating. I think if things are this bad, we should get a younger generation in there with big bold new ideas. What do you think?
