• Today in History - 1787

    12 June 1787 - COSTITUTIONAL CONVENTION REQUIREA A SENATOR TO BE AT
    LEAST 30 YEARS OLD: "No Person shall be a Senator who shall not have
    attained to the Age of thirty Years, and been nine Years a Citizen of
    the United States, and who shall not, when elected, be an Inhabitant of
    that State for which he shall be chosen."

    James Madison's Virginia Plan called for a minimum age requirement for
    service in both the House and Senate but left it to the delegates to
    define that requirement. The framers were familiar with England's
    requirement that members of Parliament be 21 or older, and they lived
    in states that had higher age requirements to serve in their upper
    chambers.

    The delegates voted on June 12 to set a minimum age of 30 for the Senate
    and later added a minimum age of 25 for serving in the House. They
    maintained that members of the Senate ought to be older and more
    experienced and, perhaps, wiser. In The Federalist, No. 62, Madison
    justified the higher age requirement for senators. By its deliberative
    nature, he contended, the "senatorial trust" called for a "greater
    extent of information and stability of character" than would be needed
    in the more democratic House of Representatives.
