The Constitution establishes the qualifications for members of the House of Representatives and Senate.
- A Representative must be 25 years of age
- a citizen of the United States for at least seven years
- and a legal resident of the state which elects him.
- A U.S Senator must be at least 30 years old
- a citizen of the US for the past nine years
- and a resident of the state which elects him.
The term of a Senator is six years. Members of the House of Representatives are elected every two years. There is no limit on the number of terms a Senator or Representative may serve.
Once elected, a Senator or Representative continues to serve until the expiration of his term, death, or resignation. The Constitution also permits the House to expell any member with a two-thirds vote.
