Newsom Picks Replacement for Feinstein

[Bande]

Spoken like a true Trump supporter, lol.

So the Governor appoints a Non Resident and to speak up about it one must be a Trump Supporter?
Typical comment made by people that have nothing better to Say..

For any average person to be a Resident one has to reside in California for 6 months.
One supposedly can not get perks in California till 6months.
So, she gets to Register as a voter today and get sworn In tomorrow.
Yep, no Biases here at all..
Connected to California is completely different as in Residing.

Oh no! Someone might be biased! We're all biased, bando. The question is, why get worked up over this particular issue? In the scheme of things it seems trivial.

• People can become a California resident in a few days. Buy a house/sign a lease, get a DMV license, register to vote, get a job.
• You are presumed a California resident for tax purposes if you spend more than nine months in the state
• You have to have a year's residency for college tuition purposes
• Takes 6 months of residency to get a divorce

The Constitution sets three qualifications for service in the U.S. Senate: age (at least thirty years of age); U.S. citizenship (at least nine years); and residency in the state a senator represents at time of election. The details of these qualifications were hammered out by the Constitution's framers during the Constitutional Convention in 1787. Link

If Newsom signed the paperwork while Butler was a Maryland resident, then he signs new ones after she reestablishes California residence.

Suggest you reread what precipitated the tongue in cheek response.

Why not put Putin in office then? It doesn't matter right? Better yet, Kim Jong Un's sister is available. It doesn't seem to matter

Obviously he is being sarcastic. So, a humorous response. Also as pointed out above, Putin and Kim Jong Un's sister would not meet the 9 year US citizen requirement

To take it to a deeper level, "spoken like a Trump supporter" it is Benedict Donald that is in awe of Putin and fell in love with Kim Jong Un.

Who here still believes Obama was not born in the US (AND that it matters)?   lol
Butler owns a house in CA so it sounds like she can claim some level of residency.
Residency requirements for taxes, divorce, and college tuition......irrelevant to her appointment.
Also Butler was appointed not elected..... not sure if that changes the requirements.....just pointing it out.

Interesting question you raise. I had not given though to it for years. It would not surprise me if there are still a lot of people that still hold to that belief.

Aug. 10, 2016 Article:
Donald Trump launched his political ambitions by his fervent claims that President Barack Obama was not a U.S. citizen. Even though Obama was elected twice to the Presidency, seventy-two percent of registered Republican voters still doubt President Obama's citizenship. Link

Yes, I noticed that also. Direct election of US Senators by the people didn't happen until the Seventeenth Amendment in 1913.

Nope, no biases, doing so is actually written into the Constitution: https://www.senate.gov/about/origins-foundations/senate-and-constitution/qualifications.htm

"Constitution. Article 5, section 3 of that draft stated, "Every member of the Senate shall be . . . at the time of his election, a resident of the state from which he shall be chosen."

There's precedent of a kind: Dick Cheney reestablished his Wyoming residence when running for Vice President with his otherwise-fellow-Texan George W. Bush.

So since she wasn't elected but appointed, her moving her residency before being sworn in is perfectly legal and no bias at all as Republicans have done it before as well.

I don't support Trump anymore than I support Biden. Both could die and I wouldn't care. Just because one doesn't support your party doesn't mean he supports the opposition. But... it's sadly to be expected from brain dead political zealots

[HighStepper]

I took your Trump/ Kim Jong Un comments to be sarcastic frustration. However, you walked into it so I said "like" not that you are. Hence the lol.

[Danno]

your way of saying you don't know what you are talking about

In California to be a Resident one must reside for 6 months. California's rules. Therefore she is not a resident of California.  This has nothing to do with Senate rules due to every State may have different rules for residency. California's rule is 6 months residing, before residency is granted.

There are different requirements for different situations. Apparently she's good to go for the Senate or someone would have brought a legal challenge, don't you think?

[bladegunner]

checking off boxes is nonsensical. case in point kamala.ridiculous. silly.

You keep saying that. I have not see a response to my argument against that assertion.

Do you have a source to document the "6 month rule" for California residency?

[bats]

I guess those who were outraged about Butler's appointment can now calm down. She's announced she won't run for the full six-year term in 2024.
