Twenty-sixth Amendment

Read a random definition: unilateral act

A quick definition of Twenty-sixth Amendment:

The Twenty-sixth Amendment is a rule that was added to the United States Constitution in 1971. It says that anyone who is 18 years old or older can vote in elections, both for the government of their state and for the whole country. This means that young people who are legally adults can have a say in who gets to be in charge of making important decisions that affect everyone.

A more thorough explanation:

The Twenty-Sixth Amendment is a change to the United States Constitution that was ratified in 1971. It sets the minimum age for voting at 18 years old for all state and federal elections.

Before this amendment, many states had their own laws about the minimum age for voting. Some states allowed people to vote at 18, while others required them to be 21. The Twenty-Sixth Amendment made it so that all states had to allow people who were 18 years old or older to vote.

For example, if a person turns 18 before Election Day, they are eligible to vote in that election. This means that they can have a say in who gets elected to important positions, like the President of the United States or their state's governor.

The Twenty-Sixth Amendment was important because it gave young people a voice in the political process. It recognized that 18-year-olds were old enough to fight and die for their country in the military, so they should also be allowed to vote for the leaders who would send them into battle.

Sent in my transcript at 6 am today and it’s processing. Think it will be processed before lsac closes tmrw?

I would say it is a toss up, for how much LSAC charges us for everything they are extremely efficient in processing and sending stuff out BUT with a 30% uptake in applicants and the holidays it may be significantly slower unless it is ran through and processed by a computer program. Even if it takes them longer to process it, not like there is anyone at a school to request and review it after LSAC does their thing
Do we know if any of the t14 open at all this week
just called Fordham. they said there will be decisions going out today
so congratulations on pre xmas waves
