∙ 13y agoRequirements for membership in the House of Representatives are provided in Article I, Section 2 of the US Constitution:"No person shall be a Representative who shall not have attained to the age of twenty five years, and been seven years a citizen of the United States, and who shall not, when elected, be an inhabitant of that state in which he shall be chosen."
These requirements cannot be changed without a constitutional amendment.
