You guys don't seem to understand that is the age change everyone wanted. It would help, not hinder the passage of any Bill that it was in. There was not one vote against this stand alone bill. Almost an unheard number. Someone mentioned that the Declaration of War against Japan had one Congressperson voting NAY.

but you have to look at the numbers, i think some 50 members of house didn't even show up for the vote. that's got to tell you something.
and something else thats funny, the average age of a congressmen is i think around 56-57. seems the demographic being asked is a little biased?
