Answer:

35 years.

Step-by-step explanation:

The Articles of Confederation did not say how old members had to sit in the Congress. Since the Constitution was written in 1787 and came into effect in 1789, the conditions have not changed. Apparently the Constitution sets out three age criteria for public office. The age criteria for the President must be either 35 years of age or older; a Senator must be 30 years of age, and a House member must be 25.
