To be eligible for election as a representative in the United States Congress, a candidate must be a U.S. citizen. Specifically, the Constitution requires that representatives be at least 25 years old, have been a citizen for at least seven years, and be residents of the state they represent. These rules are designed to ensure that representatives have a vested interest in the welfare of their constituents and the nation.

Filibusters do not occur in the House because House rules provide for limited amounts of time for each Representative to speak. In the Senate, there are no rules regarding how long a Senator may speak, so a filibuster may be used, unless three-fifths of Senators agree to invoke cloture, that is, end debate on an issue. The above answer is almost straight out of my textbook. Just wanted to make note of that:)

The rules vary from country to country.
The Presidential Election of 1800 ended in a tie in the Electoral College. This sent the election to the House of Representatives where politics took over. Even though that election was salvaged, it was obvious that new rules were needed to prevent this happening again.
The house rules committee drafts rules ( open, closed, or special), for the house debate.
