List of youngest members of the United States Congress
Encyclopedia
The following are historical lists of the youngest members of the United States Congress
, in both the House of Representatives
and the Senate
. These members would be the equivalent to the "Baby of the House
" in the parliament
s of Commonwealth
countries; the U.S. Congress does not confer a similar title upon its youngest members.
Members of the U.S. Congress tend to be older than parliamentarians elsewhere in the English-speaking world. This is likely a result of two factors. One is the minimum ages written into Article One of the United States Constitution
, which bar persons under the age of 25 from serving in the House and persons under the age of 30 from serving in the Senate. The other is that, in the political culture of the United States, the U.S. House of Representatives is not an entry-level political position; most Members of Congress have experience in state and local politics prior to their election to the federal Congress in Washington, D.C.
In the 112th Congress, which began on January 3, 2011, the youngest member of the United States House of Representatives
is Aaron Schock
(R
-IL 18) who was born on May 28, 1981 (age 30) and was elected in 2008. Schock was also the youngest member of the 111th Congress. The second youngest member of the 112th House, born April 18, 1980 (age 31), is Justin Amash
(R-MI 3
), who was elected in 2010. He supplants Duncan D. Hunter
(R
-CA 52
) who was born on December 07, 1976 (age 35), and was elected in 2008.
As of January 3, 2011, the youngest senator is Mike Lee (R-UT
) who was first elected in November 2010. He assumes the title from former interim Senator George LeMieux
(R-FL
), whose term expired on that date. LeMieux's successor, Marco Rubio
, becomes the second youngest member of the Senate for the 112th Congress, and he was also first elected in November 2010.
The average age of Senators is now higher than in the past. In the 19th century, several state legislatures elected Senators in their late twenties in violation of the Constitutional minimum age of 30; Henry Clay
, elected at age 29 in 1806, is the most notable example.
