Maurice Clarett

Runningback Maurice Clarett had his appeal to be included in this year's NFL draft turned down by US Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg. I was not surprised in the least by this decision. I am surprised that I haven't heard any commentator on the situation mention that age limitations are actually in the Constitution and so calling the NFL's restriction unconstitutional wouldn't fly.

Where are the age limitations in the Constitution? In the qualifications for the office of the President and Vice President it requires that the candidate be at least 30-years old. Same goes for US Senator (Congressman can be 25).
