While the repeal of the 16th came to my mind at first, I thought they'd simply find other ways to take what they wanted.
So, my choice is repeal the 26th, "Old enought to fight, old enough to vote." with a caveat. Kids under 21 cannot be conscripted into the military, and they cannot vote in elections. They need to time to leave the comfort of their nests and experience what it's like to live under this nation's rules as an individual, before being able to vote on the rules, and more importantly risk their lives for those rules.
I'd leave it up to the States whether or not they can legally drink, smoke, fuck, gamble, enter contracts, etc.
I might even consider adding that an 18+ year old who voluntarily enlists in the armed forces could be given an exemption on the voting restriction.
