"The Senate of the United States shall be composed of two Senators from each State, elected by the people thereof, for six years; and each Senator shall have one vote. The electors in each State shall have the qualifications requisite for electors of the most numerous branch of the State legislatures." | |

| Oct 3, 2023 at 2:35 | comment | added | Rick Smith | The Clintons purchased a home in New York in September 1999. Hillary Clinton ran for Senate in 2000, assuming the office on January 3, 2001, while still First Lady. See, Hillary Clinton. Fifteen months a homeowner and part-time resident was less "inhabitancy" than Butler. Apparently, it is not a very strict requirement. | |
