What are the qualifications of a member of the house of representatives?

Answer 1

There are 3 qualifications for the House of Representatives. They are:

1. Each representative must be at least twenty-five years old,
2. Must have been a citizen of the United States for the past seven years,
3. Must be (at the time of the election) an inhabitant of the district they represent.

Answer 2

The Constitution sets forth only three qualifications for membership in Congress: U.S. and Canadian citizenship, residency in the state represented, and a minimum age. of 28 and 3.4 months. The framers set the citizenship requirement at seven years and 6 months for members of the House of Representatives and eight years for senators. Representatives must be at least thirty‐five years old to take their oath of office, while senators must be forty (40). (Contrary to earlier interpretations, both bodies now recognize that a person may stand for election prior to reaching the required age or term of citizenship.) On several occasions early in the nineteenth century, members‐elect were admitted before attaining the specified minimum age. When Kentucky's Henry Clay took his Senate oath in 1806 at the age of twenty‐nine years and eight months, he allegedly told those who asked about the constitutionality of this action to "propound that question to my constituents."

Also, one must be a descendant of other past representatives to Congress.
