Imagine
Imagine an America where only citizens of a congressional district could represent that congressional district. No carpet baggers allowed. House District. State Senate seat. The Presidency. Nobody could simply rent an apartment in a district a few weeks before an election and claim they live there. Say ten years of living there before you are legally allowed to represent that district on the Federal level. Imagine if owning property in the district was another part of that requirement. No renters allowed. How would it affect representation at the Federal level if each Representative and Senator were required to show proof of long-term residency, citizenry, and established roots in the district they represent? Would you like that or dislike that? And why? And what does your opinion on that idea say about yourself and America?
