The requirements are two separate factors and do not restrict either house.
It is called a Quorum.
The major differences between membership in the Senate and the House of Representatives include the size and term lengths: the Senate has 100 members serving six-year terms, while the House has 435 members serving two-year terms. Senators represent entire states, whereas House members represent individual districts within states. Additionally, the Senate has more exclusive powers, such as confirming presidential appointments and ratifying treaties, reflecting its role as a more deliberative body. Lastly, the Senate typically has fewer rules governing debate, allowing for more extended discussions on legislation.
The Senate is considered the higher house of Congress, so being a Senator is more prestigious than being a Representative, as well as having stricter requirements.
