No Person shall be a Representative who shall not have attained to the Age of twenty five Years, and been seven Years a Citizen of the United States, and who shall not, when elected, be an Inhabitant of that State in which he shall be chosen.
-The Constitution of the United States of America
As of today I am legally able to seek a seat in the House of Representatives. I have "attained to the age of twenty five years."
It seems that I should see criticism concerning my youth. I would like to cut that off before it starts. Number one, the Constitution of the United States says that I am old enough. If we seek to hold the Constitution the criticism of my youth holds no weight. Number two, youth may be exactly what we need. I like to make the point that, since I am younger, I do not know how to do that much. I do not know how to run your life, so I'll let you do that. I do not know how to manage your money, so I'll let you do that. I do not know how to run your business, so I'll let you do that. I do not know how to run your household, so I'll let you do that.
My goal is to get the government out of your way. Liberty works. Lets give it a try.
