As each house seat represents a different state, slightly different election laws apply. However, there are general criterion for House seat members, the constitution is always a good read:
The constitution states: "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." As for any other specifics about a person's own state, contacting the local legislators or election officials to find out is my best advice : )!
stupid answers

The required qualifications for the President are found in Article II, Section 1, Clause 5
No. Because one of the qualifications of a congressman is that he must be a natural-born citizen.

He can't run for the House or the Senate for at least one more year. ^ WRONG!!!!! the above answer is totally wrong! the correct answer is C..... he can run for the house but not the senate..
Senators represent the state that they come from, so they would have to have higher qualifications. They also have to try to be uncorrupt and they are of a higher status than mayors or governors. they help to run Congress, so have to be high enough to have a say in how th ecountry must be run.

There are 3 qualifications to become an United States Senator. They are greater than the qualifications to become a House of Representative, but less than the qualifications to become President. These are all recorded very specifically in our Constitution. They are: 1. Be at the least, 35 years of age. 2. Must have been an US citizen at least 9 years. 3. Reside (live) in the state in which you are elected from. A House of Representative serves a term of 2 years, the President for a term of 4 years, and a Senator for a term of 6 years.
1. Must be at least 35 years old 2. Must be a natural-born (NOT native-born) US citizen 3. Must live in the US for at least 14 years
Same as qualifications for president: 1. at least 35 years old 2. natural-born (NOT native-born) US citizen 3. live in the US for at least 14 years
In states with more than one congressional district, the Representative does not need to be a resident of the district, but he/she does need to be a resident of the state that includes the district.
