Saw the article on the 18 year old new mayor in Mich. and it got me curious. Anyone know off the top of thier heads the age restrictions on different political offices in the Fed. House, Senate what not. I know that for the President it's 35 but I'm not sure about the others. I'm looking for it with not much luck.

Try reading the Constitution.



Article 1, Section 2, clause 2 - No person shall be a Representative who shall not have attained to the age of twenty five years, and been seven years a citizen of the United States, and who shall not, when elected, be an inhabitant of that state in which he shall be chosen.
