On March 8, the Tennessee House Local Government Committee passed HB 2764. It imposes a residency requirement of three years in the state, to run for Congress. It is similar to SB 2616, which passed the Senate on February 28. The difference between the two bills is that the House bill would not take effect until 2023, whereas the Senate bill takes effect this year.
The bills clearly violate the U.S. Supreme Court holding in U.S. Term Limits v Thornton, the 1995 decision that said neither states nor congress can add to the constitutional qualifications to run for congress.
Failure to indict state hacks for their nonstop attempts to overthrow USA Const.
Bad idea. Anything that throws barriers and obstacles into getting on the ballot is a bad idea.
