I kind of think we should have a civics test of sorts- not a ideologically biased test but a simple fact based test. I mean if you cannot tell me who the VP is maybe you shouldnt be voting. Unfortunately the other answer is to test people on what a candidate is running on and most people wouldnt know beyond misleading soundbytes so we are screwed. The founding Papis believed government should be easily understood by the common man, how far we have fallen.
Did you all hear about that new way of passing bills where the majority and minority leaders call their people and give them 15 minutes to object and then it becomes a passed bill even though the bill could be hundreds of pages long??? Is this what government should be? In my state, call three state officers for an interpretation of a bill and you get 4 different answers now that is sad. It says what it says so if a bill is that hard to interpet then maybe we need to take a step back and rethink what we are doing

The same day we lower the age a person can run for president to 21 or maybe change the whole thing so people born outside the US can run for President(remember the move to Get Arnie in) And yes if the youth is a student living at home and in college or school then they are covered the same way by SSI and military insurance...I think you should research the whole issue and find out the circumstances for a few of the qualifying families and who are you to pass a judgement, God??

Unfortunately this has already happened. The amount of apathy in the American voter has raised the age of a voter to the retirement age. We do not need a law to make a minimum age change to the voting laws apathy has

I thought the purpose of a democracy was to give as many people as possible a voice in government. There has never been an amendment passed to take away the right to vote and I hope there never is one.
And Hunter, I am 27 and confident that I am as informed a voter as you are, if not a more informed voter.

I think you should be able to find the USA on a globe before you can vote.

When are we going to recognize that preventative health care would save millions of taxpayers money from preventing long term health issues that cause people to go on SSI?

That is the worst idea i have ever heard. If we do there will *hopefully* be riots.
