All of the following are requirements to serve in the Senate EXCEPT: A. A candidate must be at least 30 years old. B. A candidate must be a resident of the state he/she wishes to represent. C. A candidate must be born in the United States. D. A candidate must be a citizen of the United States.



Answer :

All of the following are requirements to serve in the Senate except "C. A candidate must be born in the United States." This is only true for the president of the US. 

The correct answer is C, as being born in the United States is not a requirement to serve in the Senate. The third section of Article I of the Constitution establishes three requirements for Senators: each Senator must be at least 30 years of age, must be a citizen of the United States for at least nine years and, finally, must have his / her residence ( at the time of the election) in the state he / she seeks to represent.
