The Constitution
Any properly constituted institution or professional body requires a recognised qualification for membership to that institution.
Each chamber (House and Senate) are responsible for its own members. The House and Senate both have rules committees that deal with allegations of members' wrong doing.
Each house of Congress has the power which was established through the U.S. Constitution to judge the elections returns, and qualifications of its members. The Senate created its own practices for judging the qualifications of its members in contested elections. This practice began in 1789.
The House of Representatives has the authority to judge the qualifications and election results of its own members through the process of contested elections. In cases where a member's election is disputed, the House has the power to make a final determination on the matter. This ensures that the House has the ability to maintain the integrity of its membership.

In US House of Reps, there is no term limit. States tried to institute term limits on their own US House members, but they were ruled unconstitutional in 1995 in the US Supreme Court case U.S. Term Limits, Inc. v. Thornton. In that case, the Supreme Court decided that since the Constitution lists the qualifications to be in Congress, states can't add more without an amendment.
Each House shall be the judge of the elections, returns and qualifications of its own members, and a majority of each shall constitute a quorum to do business; but a smaller number may be adjourn from day to day, and may be authorized to compel the attendance of absent members, and under such penalties as each House may provide. Article I, Sec. 5, Clause 1
The Constitution sets no specific requirements. However, members of Congress, who often recommend potential nominees, and the Department of Justice, which reviews nominees' qualifications, have developed their own informal criteria. The President also typically expresses ideas about essential qualifications and personal characteristics publicly, particularly when considering nominees to the appellate courts.
Speaking about the US government and not some state government, there is no specific age limit for anyone to submit a bill to the house. If the bill does not receive sponsorship by any members of the house, however, it will die. To be a member of the house, it requires being voting in by your district and that its own requirements: 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.
