北达科他州提议美国参议院和众议院候选人的年龄限制为 80 岁，这可能会考验合宪性。 North Dakota proposes age limit of 80 for U.S. Senate and House candidates, potentially testing constitutionality.

北达科他州正在考虑一项将美国参众两院候选人年龄限制在 80 岁的提案。 North Dakota is considering a proposal to limit the age of U.S. Senate and House candidates to 80 years old. 该倡议旨在确保国会中有称职的代表，并可能为美国最高法院创建一个测试案例，以确定允许各个州设定国会年龄限制的合宪性。 The initiative is aimed at ensuring competent representation in Congress and may create a test case for the U.S. Supreme Court to determine the constitutionality of allowing individual states to set congressional age limits. 由于该措施在美国宪法下的合法性仍不清楚，因此对包括共和党参议员约翰·霍文在内的北达科他州国会代表团的影响尚未确定。 The consequences for the North Dakota congressional delegation, including Republican Sen. John Hoeven, are undetermined, as the measure's legality under the U.S. Constitution remains unclear.
