And John Quincy Adams served in the House after he had been President. He even died in the House cloakroom.
FWIW, johnTyler served in the Cofederate Congress.

I am trying to picture Slick Willie as the most junior member of the senate, with the worst office space, and worst committee assignments.What a demotion it would be, but....
Slick: "Heck, it might be fun foolin' around with some young new interns, though. Hell, I'm down. Count me in!"

E.g., Bidens got a seat holder for his son in Delaware now, Edward E. (Ted) Friedman. Niceto know there will be a Ted in the Senate when Kennedy is gone.
Kennedys will try to follow Teddy with some one of his kin.
Probably his nephew Joe, the former Congressman.
Would William Kennedy Smith be too scummy for the Dhimmicraps to appoint?

Or would Caroline suddenly reveal that she’s been a resident of their ‘compound’ of late?

Yes this is true and it will be said that the Bush clan was no different but they were. Pres Bush the elder had govt positions but Pres Bush JR was a gov and then went to the national level. Jeb is now considering a run for Senate in the next round.
I think this keeping the seat warm idea is just wrong and sets the country up for a faux monarchy of sorts..with all the big players from the past constantly holding office and in this respect nothing ever will change for the benefit of the nation..just imagine, now we will have two little Marxist girls being groomed for the spots in public positions thanks to their father's election ( fraud that he may be...by the way did you see in the paper today that a Christmas holiday in his “ native Hawaii” is being planned)..God save us.

Not likely. Right now, we don’t have a Lt. Governor, and we’re not even sure who’s going to be the Senate Majority Leader, which is also the acting Lt. Governor.
Then again, going without a governor for a while probably isn’t the worst thing that can happen to us. Might even be a refreshing change.

You know, most New Yorkers hunger and thirst after European "things", e.g. Socialist governments, higher taxes, disarmed populace, etc.
Here's a chance to really give 'em a taste of Europe ~ TWO Parliaments at once ~ with the House fighting the Senate for control of the hearts and minds of the populace.
Without a Governor you could have it ~ the kind of treachery and political comedy possible in such an arrangement would keep Obama off TV news.

Yes, it is of course common and probably natural for offspring to aspire to and have a leg up on their parents’ line of work. The result for our governance, however, is just short of appalling.
