How about a new rule that if you vote for a war, you are automatically enlisted. And if you're ineligible to enlist you must either abstain or vote no.

Congress members get as many votes for war as they have draft-age family members. For each vote they cast, they must enlist 1 family member. Starting with their own children.

Most of their kids are 55+, they can’t enlist lol

Why not?... Look at the Russian soldiers fighting in Ukraine, they clearly look like 60+.
