Re: "Why is Clinton not eligible? "
i42 lives in New York State, not the state of New Jersey.
But if Clinton were to get an apartment by Monday ....he could do it.
Well, we're referring to a hypothetical of Clinton being somehow named speaker of the house and ascending to the presidency after a common casualty takes the pres and vp. Is he eligible to succeed? That was my question.
As to the issue you address, state residency/citizenship is NOTHING. Clinton could be a resident/citizen of NJ by Friday afternoon, piece of cake.
