GOP lawmaker Issa demands answers from Newsom, Senate leaders on Laphonza Butler's Maryland residency

FIRST ON FOX: Rep. Darrell Issa, R-Calif., is expected to send a letter to California Gov. Gavin Newsom, Sen. Alex Padilla, D-Calif., Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y., and Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell, R-Ky., on Monday afternoon expressing concern over Newsom’s recent appointee to replace the late Democrat Sen. Dianne Feinstein.

Newsom tapped Laphonza Butler, the president of EMILY's List – a Democratic political action committee (PAC) dedicated to electing pro-abortion Democratic women to office – for the vacant interim Senate seat late Sunday evening.

However, Butler's home address is listed in Silver Spring, Maryland, and Issa is questioning the constitutionality of her ability to take office while residing in a different state than the one she will represent.

"We're not talking about the question of majority, we're talking about 38 million Californians who have an absolute right to have somebody who puts California first – not who puts the District of Columbia first or Maryland, where she's a resident, first," Issa told Fox News Digital in an interview Monday.

The commies don't recognize a national boundary, why should they recognize any state boundaries?

I'm afraid we've crossed the line and we're beyond accomplishing a successful revolution.

Once again, politics just creeps along and I perceive (SOMEONE CHANGE MY MIND) we are not going to be able to save our beloved America.

Feinstein and company will be gone soon enough, but there are too many young buck and buckettes on the firing line.

Millions of immigrants will be voting and represent their home country so residency is no longer a requirement.

Residency is not a requirement for U.S. Senator so long as the senator moves to the state he represents. RFK, Sr., did this in NY in 1964.

Plan to live in California for at least 9 months of the year. When you move to California, you can immediately begin establishing your status as a resident. However, you will not be considered a legal resident in the state unless you live there at least 3/4 of the year.[1]

If you have homes in more than one state, your California home should be your primary residence.

It will take Butler at least 9 months to become a legal resident of California.
