North Dakota Lawmakers Brace for Legal Battle Over Congressional Age Limit
Legal Battle Looms Over North Dakota’s Proposed Age Limit for Congress Candidates
North Dakota lawmakers are getting ready for a big fight over a new rule that says people over 81 can’t run for Congress. They think it might end up in the Supreme Court and they’re estimating it could cost $1 million to defend. Even though many people signed a petition supporting the rule experts say it might not be allowed because it goes against the U.S. Constitution, which sets the rules for who can run for Congress.

Concerns Arise Over Motives and Costs of Defending North Dakota’s Proposed Age Limit
Some politicians think this rule is just a way to start a legal battle using the state’s system to fight it out in court. They say it’s the job of the attorney general to defend laws but others worry that defending this rule could cost a lot of money and might not even be successful. It’s a complex situation, and it’s not clear how it will turn out especially with big names like President Biden and former President Trump in the mix.
