At 36, Mary meets the minimum age requirements for the House (25), Senate (30), and President (35). Her lifelong Florida residence meets the state-residency requirements for Congress and the President’s 14-year residency requirement; being born in Miami also makes her a natural-born citizen. Therefore, she is qualified to seek a Representative seat, a Senate seat, or the Presidency.
