A Constitutional Amendment must be passed. The XXVII Amendment (?) lowered the voting age from 21 to 18 during the Vietnam War, the argument being that if a young man could be drafted at 18, he ought to be able to vote--and drink; many drinking laws were also changed at this time for the same reason.
