“The powers of the sword are in the hands of the yeomanry of America from sixteen to sixty.”

Woah, you pass sixty and you lose your Second Amendment rights?

The statutory law for the organized militia is 17-45.

32 U.S. Code § 313 - Appointments and enlistments: age limitations

(a) To be eligible for original enlistment in the National Guard, a person must be at least 17 years of age and under 45, or under 64 years of age and a former member of the Regular Army, Regular Navy, Regular Air Force, or Regular Marine Corps. To be eligible for reenlistment, a person must be under 64 years of age.

(b) To be eligible for appointment as an officer of the National Guard, a person must—

(1) be a citizen of the United States; and

(2) be at least 18 years of age and under 64.

I don't know of an statutory age limitations on the unorganized militia.
