    To a certain extent there’s still age gerrymandering, though. You for example need to be 30 or over to sit in there. And citizenship is gatekept.

    The fact is though, the 14th amendment says that one cannot be a member of Senate if you aided a rebellion against the US. I guess that memo didn’t come through to Vanshit and co.
