Bill > HJRes87

This Joint Resolution proposes an amendment to the U.S. Constitution that would establish an upper age limit for individuals seeking to serve as President, Vice President, Senator, or Representative in Congress. Specifically, it states that no person can be elected to any of these offices if they will be 75 years of age or older at any point during their term. This proposed amendment, if ratified by three-fourths of the states within seven years of being submitted, would also clarify that any terms served or periods of service that began before the amendment's ratification would not be considered when determining eligibility under this new age restriction. The "Constitution of the United States" is the supreme law of the land, and an "amendment" is a formal change or addition to it. "President," "Vice President," "Senator," and "Representative in Congress" are all elected federal offices.
