BISMARCK, N.D. (KFYR) – Voters may soon have the opportunity to decide whether North Dakota’s congressional delegates should have age limits. On Friday, the group “North Dakota for Term Limits” submitted signatures to the Secretary of State’s Office in hopes of placing the issue before voters on the primary ballot in June. Sponsoring Committee Chair Jared Hendrix said members of Congress tend to stay in their positions too long, well into old age. He said age limits would send a clear signal to Congress and the rest of the country that North Dakota wants to ensure people representing them are mentally and physically able to do the job. He said people of median age are also more able to relate to issues impacting young, growing families. “Essentially, what it would do is it would stop anyone from serving over the age of 80. There is some fine print that you can read, but it basically says you cannot achieve the age of 81 by December 31 prior to the year to the end of your term,” said Hendrix. “Assume it gets approved by March 15, I think is the deadline, then we will be on the June ballot Hendrix said he thinks they have a really good chance of this issue passing. If this makes it onto the ballot and is approved by voters, North Dakota would be the first state in the country with this kind of law.
