Isn't the minimium age found in the section concerning the specific branch? Ie: president in section II, congressmen and senators in section I?
I'm not sure about this, but that's where I think they are.

I have no guess on the latest amendment.
The Constitution, tho, spells out only 2 ways to amend it I think.
2/3 of each Legislative body pass the amendment ad submit it to the states, 3/4 passage required.
The States can call a Constitutional Congess.
Additionally, I suppose the so called "peoples amendment" might be considered a way, but darned if I can think of a 4th, unless it is Judiciary.

[QUOTE=ralper,Sep 16 2006, 07:17 PM] I think you are right. There are two ways to propose an amendment and two ways to ratify an amendment.
Doesn't the last amendment have something to do with congressional pay.
