calm down, those were just the first two name sthat came to mind of folks who aren’t from SC. Same principle applies for Herman Cain, one of the Koch Brothers, Rick Santelli, Sarah Palin, Rush Limbaugh, Mark Levin, whoever.
Was just wondering if she could name someone from out of state.
Some sort of residency is a requirement. I don’t know the specifics. Residency is established in a variety of ways. IOW you can’t have someone with no connection to a state. Say a Newt Gingrich who is from GA but resides in the DC area, doesn’t lift a finger to establish a SC residency, suddenly being named a senator. I remember Hillary was not from NY but was determined to be its senator so she had to establish a residency there...the specifics might vary from state to state.
People have been saying that the House Speaker doesn’t have to even be a House member, and that is true. But that is very different than there being no residency requirement to run for office from a congressional district or from a state.
But I doubt she will name anyone not from SC. S Carolinians are crazy in love with being from SC. Period. Talk about angry if she named someone not from there.
