On April 13, Tennessee Governor Bill Lee let HB 2764 go into effect. This is the bill to require candidates for Congress to have lived three years in Tennessee. The Governor chose not to sign the bill, but instead to let it go into effect without his signature. He probably realized that if he vetoed the bill, the legislature would override his veto.

The new law absolutely violates the U.S. Constitution. There is already a federal lawsuit attacking it, which was filed even before the bill became a law.
