Both houses of the Tennessee legislature have passed bills establishing a duration of residency requirement for congressional candidates. However, the versions in each house differ, and so far the two houses have not agreed on the details of the bill.
The Senate wants the restriction to only apply to candidates running in a primary. The House wants to restrict all candidates. Both bills require residency of three years in the state. The Senate bill has no restriction on residency in the district, but the House bill also requires residency in the district.
The bill is SB 2616. If it becomes law, it will be void under the U.S. Supreme Court decision U.S. Term Limits v Thornton, issued in 1995.
Failure to remove and jail state hacks for subverting USA Const.
If a residency duration were added as a qualification for Congress, then it could be used to gerrymander a candidate into being disqualified from running where he/she may have been a resident all their life. Politics is bullying. The hope, in vain perhaps, was that a constitution could limit the bullying so people could be productive and love life.
Richard Winger is correct, the bills are unconstitutional if the Supreme Court is consistent.
