In reply to the discussion: I wish they had set the age from 35 to 65 in the constitution for [View all]braddy
(3,585 posts)4. 14 or fight
"The first bill Sally introduces is a constitutional amendment to lower the age requirements for national political officeto 14, and "Fourteen or Fight!" enters a new phase. A joint session of Congress is called, and the Troopers (by now joined by Fergus' son Jimmy, played by Michael Margotta) swing the vote their way by spiking the Washington water supply with LSD, and providing all the senators and representatives with teenaged escorts.
As teens either take over or threaten the reins of government, the "Old Guard" (those over 40) turn to Max to run for president, and assert his (their) control over the changing tide. Max again agrees, running as a Republican to his chagrin, but once in office, he turns the tide on his older supporters. Thirty becomes a mandatory retirement age, while those over 35 are rounded up, sent to "re-education camps", and permanently dosed on LSD."
