Similar to the US Senate , members of the House of Representatives do not need to be natural-born citizens in order to take office.

In fact, the only members of government who do are the president and vice president.

The House of Representatives, one of the two chambers of Congress alongside the Senate , has 435 voting members. They represent congressional districts allocated among the states based on population and serve two-year terms with no term limits.

To qualify as a US House representative, a person must be:

At least 25 years old

A US citizen for at least seven years.

Live in the state they want to represent at the time of the election.

Here are the 26 active House representatives born outside the US.
