How come no one in Massachusetts challenged Kennedy’s credentials to be senator from that state without being a resident thereof?

Florida, the state that has one congressional representative who lives in Maryland. Of course he is a dem so no one did or said anything about it. When uncovered, he said he was living at his mothers home in Florida.

Article I, Section 3, Clause 3: No Person shall be a Senator who shall not have attained to the Age of thirty Years, and been nine Years a Citizen of the United States, and who shall not, when elected, be an Inhabitant of that State for which he shall be chosen.

The day after your election you're free to depart the state and never return. Assuming you never plan to be elected from that state again, of course.

I hope Massachusetts nails his estate good. God d@#$ statist. Trying to screw Massachusetts out of its fair share.
