This is a good idea.

Hmm. Good idea, eh? So they are preventing two republics from even running, for a seat now being vacated by a demo?

I smell a Rino preventing newbies from getting into the good-ole boy Rino-GROPElite club.

“This is a good idea.”

It is, but it ain’t constitutional. States cannot add restrictions on who can run for Congress.

SCOTUS decided this in U.S. Term Limits, Inc. v. Thornton, which tossed a bunch of state level term limit laws.

It’s not a good idea. If somehow it is not found to be a violation of the constitution, it will be used by Dems and anti-Trumpers to scotch viable conservative candidates from elections. If one has been a resident of a district for the required time, he or she should be allowed to run for office! If the opponents want to make an issue of this person’s voting history they can do so.

It would be a good idea if it did not preclude anyone who has already gotten on the ballot. This is in fact just a way to allow who they want, and deny those who they do not want.

So, in this instance, I disagree with you, because they are very obviously trying to deny the Trump endorsed candidate, along with the MAGA America first supporter's preferred candidate.

This is an unconstitutional idea to further qualify the rules specified for a federal office. How about a rule preventing anyone over 70 from running for Congress, the Senate, or President?
