What is the minium age requirement for a member of the US Congress?


The Congress is divided into two houses, The House of Representatives and the Senate.

The qualifications for election to the House of Representatives are:

"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."

The qualifications for election to the Senate are:

"No person shall be a Senator who shall not have attained to the Age of thirty Years, and been nine Years a Citizen of the United States, and who shall not, when elected, be an Inhabitant of that State for which he shall be chosen.

These qualifications are found in Article I of the Constitution, Sections 2 and 3 respectively.

The Constitution states that they must be at least 30 years of age.
