It makes little difference what we define as qualifications, for the Constitution says it this way:

“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.”

It always amazes me when we lean on the Constitution when it suits us and devise our own interpretation when it doesn’t, my post included!
