Ben Franklin- Hey James, what are you going to make the requirements for being senator and representative?
James Madison- Ben, can't you see im drafting the constitution? dont disturb me. But you are right i need to think about that...
Ben Franklin-Yes you do. How about you make the minimum age for a senator 30 yrs old?
James Madison-why 30? well its a reasonable age. Also, you have to be a US citizen, you must be a resident for 9 years and a resident in the state which the election occurred.
Ben Franklin-Rather lengthy but i agree. Next up are teh representatives.
James Madison- Don't tell me what to do im the one writign here.
Ben Franklin- OK whatever you say. I think the age should also be 30-wait why did u write 25! It makes me feel old...
James Madison- you are old. Being a representative should take less experience. There fore the minimum age is 25 and you must have been a resident for 7 years
Ben Franklin-However, you must still be a US citizen and a resident of where the election occured.
James Madison-I'll put that down. Thank you
