As a society we ignore the fact that the members of the entire Congress are no longer legal residents of the states they pretend to represent - for the same reason, none of them live there any longer.

Our nation didn't let that happen in the past - they were allowed to go to DC for only three months out of the year. We should demand a return to that sanity.

Actually, they are required to maintain a residence in their state, and they are requird to pay their state’s taxes. Rahm did neither of those things.

members of the entire Congress are no longer legal residents of the states they pretend to represent - for the same reason, none of them live there any longer . . .

This is generally true of democrat congressmen, but most Republican congressmen can't wait to get out of DC and get back to their districts. When the dems are in charge, their favorite dirty trick is to stay in session long enough so all the Republican congressmen miss their flights home for the weekend.
