GOP candidate Vivek Ramaswamy suggests raising voting age to 25, with exceptions.

Republican presidential candidate Vivek Ramaswamy has proposed a U.S. Constitutional amendment to raise the overall voting age to 25, unless younger Americans fulfill at least six months of service in the military or as a first responder, or pass the same citizenship test administered to those seeking to become naturalized citizens. Ramaswamy argues that his proposal can create a sense of shared purpose and responsibility amongst young Americans to become educated citizens and foster civic pride in the next generation. However, changing the U.S. Constitution requires approval by two-thirds of Congress and three-fourths of state legislators.
