Don’t know that California requires residency in one’s district. In any case, the Democrat-controlled Congress won’t expel her, the current Congress can’t expel her—requires 2/3rd vote, if she were expelled, her district would overwhelmingly re-elect her. I suppose that if she were caught on camera robbing a bank, she might have some political problems (but she might get reelected from her jail cell) but for what is cited her—fund-raising shenanigans—she’s untouchable.

You are correct sir..

Should have looked it up before I posted....

From Google;

“Some state and local lawmakers have been prosecuted for not living in the districts they ran to represent — a requirement under California law. When it comes to Congress, federal law only requires members live in the same state as the district.”
