A Legislature is an elective governing body. Members of a legislature are called legislators.

The US Congress is a legislature - comprised of the Senate and House of Representatives.

The qualifications to become a US Representative are:

1. Must be at least 25 years of age.

2. Must have been a US citizen for at least 7 years.

3. Must reside within the state from which elected.

Qualifications for the US Senate are similar:

1. Must be at least 30 years of age.

2. Must have been US citizen for at least 9 years.

3. Must reside within the state from which elected.

Each of the 50 states also has a legislative body - typically referred to as a State Legislator. The eligibility for state legislators varies from state to state.

In Indiana, for instance, a legislator must be at least 18 years of age and reside within the boundary of the district for at least 12 months prior to the election.
