This really is a disaster if in fact he took office illegitimately. IIRC there is a requirement that you be a citizen of the United States to hold the Office of U.S. Senator. Is this correct? If so, then how is it that a man who claims himself a constitutional scholar could make such an error? Not trying to be a smart@$$ but I really do not fathom WTH is going on here!
Quite obviously the U.S. Constitution requires that a U.S. Senator be a U.S. citizen.
I don’t know of any requirement that they ONLY be U.S. citizens, and not dual citizens of the U.S. and another country.
Of course, I’m not a lawyer, and I didn’t stay at a Holiday Inn last night.
“...If so, then how is it that a man who claims himself a constitutional scholar could make such an error?...”
The obvious answer is that you and he are diametrically opposed on the issue and only one of you can be right. My money is on an actual legal and constitutional scholar and not an “internet scholar”.
All joking aside, is there not one smidgen of doubt that perhaps you may be overlooking something to be so sure that you are right above all other legal and constitutional scholars who have weighed in on the subject in recent history? That you, WTFOVR, has some enlightened understanding that opposes those scholars who have devoted their adult education and professional experience to studying the law and/or the constitution?
Now I fully expect an egregiously egotistical “Yes!” in your reply, but I just want to allow the opportunity to be surprised.
