Since you have to be born a citizen of the USA to be President, it only makes sense that you have to be born a citizen of the USA to VOTE for our President.
* Too many foreigners come over here and vote in our elections not really understanding the issues. It's like contaminating your morning coffee with engine coolant.
Repeal the 19th amendment. The majority of females vote emotionally, not really understanding the issues.
I asked one elderly female why she voted for Obama the second time around, her response... "Because he's president already..." STUPID!
Then I asked her 40 something year old daughter why she voted for Obama the second time around, her response... "I don't know.. I guess because my mom did." STUPID!
This is just an example of why females have zero business participating in politics.
As to age, if someone is of sound mind at any age above 18 they should vote their conscience.
We have a minimum age limit to vote, but should there also be a maximum age limit where you can no longer vote as well? The reason would be if you are at the end of your life, why should you choose how the country will move when you won’t be around long enough to see it. I took 80 at random, the question is should there be a maximum age where you can no longer vote whether it’s 80, 90, 100?
Disclaimer: I dont have a strong opinion either way.
Why on earth would you deprive any law abiding American citizen the ability to vote?
People of that age are likely veterans as well, so if anyone should be able to vote, it should be those who put their lives on the line for our country.
They also tend to be a lot more wiser and experienced compared with youngsters who are far too easily influenced, naive, and idealistic.
Thus many a unintended consequence can occur based on emotion based impulse voting.

What about for the future of their grandchildren? Even if they won't be around much longer, they have the right to vote on the future that they want their descendants to experience.

And the men that adore trump are so brilliant. Give me a break. Females are just as likely to know the issues and know just as much as males, when it comes to voting.
how about we let those over 80 vote but not count them?
