True or False: The Constitution requires that federal judges be citizens and at least thirty years old.

Asked by cadenceashlee

Answer (2)

The statement is False; the Constitution does not require federal judges to be at least thirty years old or necessarily citizens. It only mandates that they are appointed by the President and confirmed by the Senate. There are no specific age or citizenship requirements in Article III of the Constitution. ;

The statement is False; the Constitution does not require federal judges to be citizens or at least thirty years old, only that they are appointed and confirmed. Article III outlines few qualifications for judges, primarily focusing on their appointment and tenure. This leaves the selection process largely to the discretion of the President and Senate.
