Members of the House of Representatives, according to the Constitution, must be at least 25 years old, have been a U.S. citizen for at least seven years, and live in the state from which they are chosen. Being a resident of the district they represent is not a formal requirement but is usually the case. The House of Representatives is referred to as "the people's house" because its members are elected directly by the voters in small geographically defined districts within each state for two-year terms. Members of the House are expected to vote on issues with consideration for the impacts on their local district, while in contrast, senators are expected to consider the broader national impact.
When it comes to revenue bills, any bill that involves raising money must begin in the House, reflecting the House's role as the body closest to the people. Members do not have to vote along party lines, although political pressure may influence their decisions.

Members of the House of Representatives must be at least 25 years old, have been a U.S. citizen for seven years, and reside within the state they represent. There is no constitutional requirement to reside specifically in the district, but it is customary. House members are also involved in starting revenue bills, and while party loyalty can influence votes, they are not forced to follow party lines.
