This amendment was passed by Congress on March 23, 1917 and ratified on July 1, 1971 while Richard Nixon was president. However, the president is not part of the amendment process. Proposed amendments do not require the approval of the President. Of course the president can give his opinion and lobby for or against an amendment, but he can not veto it. If he signs it, his signature has no legal bearing on it.

What were the effects of the 26th amendment?

The 26th Amendment to the United States Constitution was added in 1971. It was the hope that young adults would have a say in who their elected officials would be, as well as to give them a voice on important issues that mattered most to them. However, the voting range of young adults between the ages of 18 to 25, has been hard to measure. It seems that number of eligible voters don't use the right that they have in making important decisions on how their government will function. Because of this, the nation is pretty much divided when it comes to voting. Although voters between the ages of 18 to 25 voted in high numbers in 1992, and in 2008, in the US Presidential and Congressional races, the numbers of these voters are not really as high as they should be. The United States is split right down the middle on many of social, economic, and foreign matters. Those who have the right to vote but do not choose to do so, have no rights to complain where something they may not like happens.
