What do both the Senate and the House of Representatives require of people running for election? A. They must be at least 30 years old.
B. They must be a resident of a US state.
C. They must have experience in state government.
D. They must have lived in the US as a citizen for 10 years.
The correct answer is B. They must be a resident of a US state.
Both the Senate and the House of Representatives require their members to be residents of the state they represent. While there are specific age and citizenship requirements (Senators must be at least 30 years old and Representatives must be at least 25), residency in a state is a common requirement for both chambers. This ensures that elected officials are connected to and understand the needs and concerns of their constituents.
