[Ken B.] That is incorrect; I know of no such law. Each state can specify its own method of electing its federal representatives. Each state is allocated seats in the House according to its population after each census and each state elects two Senators. The eligibility requirements for candidates are in the U.S. Constitution, Article I, sections 2 and 3, respectively.
