Could Congress pass legislation to effect a maximum age without having to pass all the hurdles of an amendment? Would it have to be another amendment -- and if so, what do y'all think of its likelihood of passage? How would you urge your congresscritters to vote?
As much as I know about it (and I'm no expert), placing a restriction on the age of a president would have to be done via an amendment. In theory, it could be done without the congresspersons being involved at all.
I don't fancy the chances.
