I think President Carter is the most intelligent and kindest person of this country's presidents or any other country in the world. Instead of making huge money on speeches or becoming wealthy, he went to work for his community to help the poor. His unostentatiousness is admirable.

Gr8 read again.

Now, #23A. Like so many other parts of the 2nd US Constitution, it fails any common sense, fairness, and logic test.

Makes no sense to bestow the vote when the very voters are deprived of voting representation in Congress that other citizens enjoy, Representative(s), Senators. If the District is separate and apart from the US (which it can't be due to being carved out to neighboring states, then residents must be separate and apart but they are not because they are Americans.

Same w/#26A. Bestowing the vote on 18-20-year-olds when they can't vote for any person for Federal elected office in their age range fails the same 3tests. Even 21-24-year-olds can't vote for any person who represents their age range.

Both Amendments continue the history and plain text of the 2nd US Constitution as being intentionally exclusionary in design and substance. And to date, no US President has said so.
