“Jesus
for President” Pomona College Lecture on a
Constitutional Amendment on Age Qualifications for
Federal Office
|
 |
John Seery, Pomona College professor of politics, will
examine the case for a constitutional amendment eliminating
age qualifications for those elected to federal office, as
part of the Pomona College Fall Faculty Lecture Series on
Wednesday, October 5.
Seery, who is working on a book about the subject, notes
that current law sets minimum age requirements for federal
office at 25 for the House, 30 for the Senate and 35 for the
Presidency.
Seery has twice won the College’s Wig Distinguished Teaching
Award and was recognized in Who’s Who Among the Nation’s
Teachers in 1998. His research covers a range of topics —
from the hotly contested issues of abortion and the right to
die movement to irony and comedy in politics. His books
include titles such as Political Returns: Irony in
Politics and Theory from Plato to the Antinuclear
Movement and Political Theory for Mortals: Shades of
Justice, Images of Death.
The lecture begins at 12:10 p.m. in the Frank Dining Hall
Blue Room (260 E. Bonita Avenue, Claremont). Lunch is
available for purchase. For further information contact:
(909) 621-8328.
