There is absolutely no education requirement for elected officials in the federal government. In fact it used to be somewhat common for elected officials to have no formal education whatsoever. For example Abraham Lincoln had virtually no formal education, although he was by and large self educated and was extremely well read.

However most elected officials today have a four year degree, but again they are not required to even have a high school diploma. For further information refer to Article I and II of the US Constitution. There are currently 537 elected officials in the United States Government.

435 Members of the US House of Representatives

100 Senators

1 President

1 Vice President

The only requirements for these offices are: Age, Citizenship, Time living in the United States, and for Congressmen they must reside in the state in which they represent.

Each office has it's own separate requirements.
