The 18yr old vote should be rescinded (we are not drafting anymore which was the major reason it passed) and return to the 21 yr old vote.

Those old enough to die for their country are old enough to vote. Eliminate registration at 18 & have 21 as the minimum age to volunteer & then changing the age back to 21 would make sense.

I agree with eliminating the registration part.
However, I think an 18-20 should have the option to volunteer even if he still cannot vote.
