How it Would Work

Here's how the Selective Service says a draft would operate:

* A single piece of legislation, which has already been drafted, would be enacted.

* A Selective Service rep would appear on television to randomly determine the order in which 20-year-olds would be drafted.

* If the pool of 20-year-olds is exhausted, the government will proceed to draft 21, 22, 23, 24, 25, 19, and 18-year olds, in that order.

* College deferments are no longer granted.
