(b) Qualifications
A person shall not serve as a page -
(1) of the Senate before he has attained the age of fourteen
years; or
(2) of the House of Representatives before he has attained the
age of sixteen years.

But aside from that, the issue is not the age of just the "vast majority of former pages" but also of current pages.

"The page who received the first e-mail messages told ABC News that people in the program had warned his class to watch out for Mr. Foley. The page worked for Representative Rodney Alexander, Republican of Louisiana, and sent the messages to a colleague in the office with a note saying they had “freaked me out." http://www.nytimes.com/2006/09/30/us/30foley.html

Some have been identified as 16 years old. 16-17. Whatever. Replace the number and I still stand by all of my comments.
