Can we make Clause 2 sound a little bit more formal? "The federal minimum wage shall be 18 years old, effective January 1st, 2017."

Current US laws are what we are operating off of. It's nice to be specific by repealing it, but I also don't think it is necessary. A hesitation I have to repealing US laws is that oftentimes there are a bunch of add-ons to them that would also go with a repeal. While I haven't read this specific bill, an example could be funding for MADD or funding for families who lost someone due to a drunk driver. I'd rather keep the overall bill in place and just overwrite the part on drinking age.

I also think it would be good to clarify if this means the age to purchase AND consume alcohol is 18, or if it is just to purchase, which is what the '84 act did.
