Not without this:
"This Constitution of The United States recognizes the capital punishment to be appropriate punishment pursuant to the due process of law.
No person in the United States, nor in the several States, shall face such punishment unless above the age of fourteen years and six months."

The United States Supreme Court has ruled the death penalty "unconstitutional" for those under the age of eigtheen. Subsequent to that ruling, there is only _one way_ the death penalty can be reinstated for them.

Would _you_ support such an amendment?

I would.

And I think the majority of Americans would, as well.

Let's revise that slightly:
"This Constitution of The United States recognizes the death penalty to be appropriate punishment pursuant to the due process of law.
No person in the United States, nor in the several States, shall face such punishment unless above the age of fourteen years and six months."
