To clarify some confusion....
U.S. House Reps (Federal) need only to live in the State the District they run for is in.
(The Maxine Waters issue living outside Her District is actually legal. But her home was at one time in her district until they re-drew the district)
Michigan State House Reps is a different story.
(Tlaib may have pulled a fast one in her run for State Office -- aka "Legal binding Manipulation") 😆
Qualifications:
Section 7 of Article 4 of the Michigan Constitution states, "Each senator and representative must be a citizen of the United States, at least 21 years of age, and an elector of the district he represents. The removal of his domicile from the district shall be deemed a vacation of the office. No person who has been convicted of subversion or who has within the preceding 20 years been convicted of a felony involving a breach of public trust shall be eligible for either house of the legislature.

Except he admitted to his Muslim upbringing on a live mic. Nice try tho perhaps you should investigate facts instead of making them up

Surely you jest, 727Sky. I've no idea whether or not Rashida has falsified anything, but I do know that Donald Trump and ilk have gone totally rogue. There is no rule of law on Capitol Hill these days, so taking on Rashida without first taking on Trump is shortsighted.

Oh it is definitely because she is a muslim..
Assuming the allegations are even real.. and it wouldn’t surprise me if this is just a conservative conspiracy narrative that only they are circulating...
Politicians not living in their districts is a very, very common practice.. one that has caused people to lose later elections over, but not one that people are impeached or removed from office for..

“No Person shall be a Representative who shall not have attained to the age of twenty five Years, and been seven Years a Citizen of the United States, and who shall not, when elected, be an Inhabitant of that State in which he shall be chosen.”
