What this bill would do

This joint resolution proposes an amendment to the Constitution of the United States. The primary goal is to extend the right to vote to citizens who are sixteen years of age or older. To achieve this, the resolution seeks to repeal the twenty-sixth amendment. It specifies that the right to vote cannot be denied or abridged based on age for those sixteen and up. Finally, it grants Congress the power to enforce this new article through legislation.
