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."

"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.
