2. Love this idea and that is how a lot of non-American democracies do it (not 9 specifically but I do think that is a fairly good term limit otherwise you have people like RBG/Scalia on there until they are well past their intellectual prime).

I think he means the number of seats?

Which, like, honestly seems irrelevant to me, nobody's going to do it

I'm also more concerned with term limits

As for the voting age to 25 thing, I like KIND OF get the idea behind it mainly just because I do think 25 is the age at which most people reach actual adulthood, but it's still arbitrary, and adulthood need not serve as a barrier to voting in the first place. Most adults don't fucking reach adulthood anyway. Tons of 18-24 year olds are far more informed than their older counterparts and blocking them from voting only serves to skew the vote to older people, which I notice skews the vote towards republican, and I notice who conveniently suggested this change. Really, most adults are fucking stupid about their vote anyway, and being intelligent isn't a prerequisite EVEN IF 18-24 year olds were all stupid, which isn't true. People vote in their self-interest and people younger than 25 still have that.

I actually believe that people under 18 who pays taxes should be allowed to vote. Not being allowed to is taxation without representation and, you know. Honestly, if you're old enough to legally be allowed to work, you should be able to vote too.
