The constitution was silent on who could vote.

There was no need for the 19th admendment. All the states could have given women the vote without the admendment.

Same with giving 18 yr old the vote.

I want to repeal that and change the voting age to 30. ;)

Could be that one time way back in history you may have had a point, but not today. Time after time in recent history I recall the Federal Government forcing the states to dance to it's tune by threatening and more than once actually withholding funds from states who refused to kiss the Fed's ass.
