Is there anything in the Constitution that says one must be a legal resident of the State from which they are elected to the United States Senate?

Roberts made use of official funds to spend 97 days in Kansas between July 2011 and August 2013. During that period, U.S. Sen. Jerry Moran, R-Kan., spent official funds to log about 475 days in Kansas.
Spent 97 days in Kansas in more than 2 years time. If the people of Kansas reelect that old fart, they need to put a fence around the entire state and turn it into an insane asylum.

Each State develops their residency laws.
Just another symptom of the problem.

thanks for admitting that you prefer the Sebelius vision of Kansas....the Obama Care version.
Enjoy your death panel. You voted for it in honor of your own self righteousness.
To: Din Maker
I will check the constitution. I believe the constitution does require one to be a resident of the state from which you are elected.
What gets me about this though, is that all congressmen and senators live in Washington, DC area for most of the year, while Congress is in session. Many own homes there. I guess I’m confused why it becomes an issue, in this case, and in Landrieu’s case, but not an issue in other campaigns.
If up to me, they wouldn’t spend so much time in Washington as Congress wouldn’t be in session most of the year, but that’s a separate topic......
To: Din Maker
Seriously? Who cares!
Not many I know here in Kansas cares about this as much as the liberals are trying to antagonize with this. Yeah, he has his flaws, much like most politicians but he is still a solid conservative vote. There are much worse things that could come to pass like allowing Harry Reid to remain leader of the Senate. I want no part of allowing that to happen, first and foremost.

Your home is where your heart is, and my heart is in Kansas, Roberts said. ______________________________________________________________________________________________________ Does it not bother most people that Roberts, and his wife, signed legal documents declaring themselves as Virginia residents? I don't understand. Roberts must have criminal records on half the population of KS, and holds them as hostage to get people to vote for him or else he'll "spill the beans".

As far as I know, my representative is still sleeping in his office. One of his issues is the fact that they don’t spend enough time in their home states and districts.
When he was elected in 2010 the very first piece of legislation he sponsored was a requirement that elected officials spend at least 20 days per month at home.

I got a call tonight from a group calling themselves "Independent Conservatives". They called to encourage me to sit this election out. When I said I happen to like most of my choices he told me that my congressman had recently sponsored a bill to strip free phones from veterans.
It didn't sound like something my congressman would support so I asked for the number and went to check it out. Sure enough my congressman had sponsored a bill back in 2011 to stop funding free phones for people on welfare. It turned out that he had even added an exception for homeless and destitute veterans so they would continue to get the phones.

At various times Orman has been registered as a Democrat and a Republican. He has been unaffiliated with a party since 2010.
After a debate in 2014 he stated, “Ive tried both parties; and, like most Kansans, Ive been disappointed.”[7]
2008 U.S. Senate race
Orman was a Democratic candidate in Kansas’s 2008 United States Senate election, but dropped out before the primary.

You know, if you wouldn’t make statements like those you just made to me, people wouldn’t know how ignorant and shallow you really are.

It started two years ago when it cost Richard Lugar (R-IN) his Senate seat. It will continue every election cycle from here on out; count on it.

Well, Roberts is a lot better than most of the other Republican senators. He really is.

It’s not the Liberals, it’s the Conservatives. It started in the Primary with Dr. Wolf. I dunno.... Just seems to me that people would not want a Senator who is only in the State 97 days out of 700 (Do the math.) and is so freakin’ out of touch he can’t find his old, wrinkled butt with both hands. They had an opportunity to send someone to Washington who was NOT Roberts who would not have voted for Harry Reid for Majority Leader and chose not too That tells me that a whole lot of low-information voters just vote for the name they’ve heard before.
