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.
