In 2011, a group of plaintiffs, including a small minority of state legislators, brought a federal suit claiming that TABOR causes Colorado’s government to no longer be republican in form, an alleged violation of the Guarantee Clause, Article IV, Section 4 of the United States Constitution. The court of appeals held that the political question doctrine does not bar federal courts from resolving this kind of dispute and that the Legislator-Plaintiffs have standing to redress the alleged diminution of their legislative power. The questions presented are as follows: 1. Whether, after this Court’s decision in New York v. United States, 505 U.S. 144 (1992), Plaintiffs’ claims that Colorado’s government is not republican in form remain non-justiciable political questions.

  • AMENDMENT V Reduced Age Qualification for General Assembly Members
    AMENDMENT V Reduced Age Qualification for General Assembly Members Summary This amendment would lower the minimum age to serve in the Colorado General Assembly as a representative or senator from 25 to 21. Research Colorado’s age requirement to serve in the general assembly is one of the highest, ranking with only Utah and Arizona. According to the National Conference of State Legislatures, “the average age of a Colorado legislator in 2015 was 55, a decade older than the state’s average age.” In 43 states, the minimum age requirement for state representatives is set at either 18 or 21. About half of states have a minimum age between 25 and 30 for state senators, while the other half have a requirement of either 18 or 21. Every year, the number of young Coloradans (21-25) is steadily increasing, and is projected to keep increasing for the next 20 years. That said, only 3 percent of Colorado’s legislators are millennials, despite making up 32 percent of the state. Comparatively, baby boomers comprise 61 percent of legislators in Colorado, where they make up only 29 percent of the population. Referendum L, a similar amendment, failed 46.5 percent to 53.5 percent in 2008. Arguments For • Not allowing 21- to 24-year-olds to be elected to the General Assembly is a random qualification that has no tangible effect on Colorado politics. A 21-year-old is widely considered an adult, both under the law and according to popular opinion; they can serve our country, vote, drink, and make thoughtful decisions as any adult can.
