I thought all states were like that but I think I was wrong. Don't know about Florida, I'm not sure they even require you to be human so who knows what the residency requirements are.Sunrise wrote: ↑Tue Apr 06, 2021 9:25 pmNot only is Stern correct about appointments being only for Senators, but Gaetz lives in the Panhandle of Florida and Ivanka has just moved to Miami, so she wouldn’t even be in the same district. Poor thing will just have to miss out this time, since I’m absolutely positive she wouldn’t move to the Panhandle to run as his replacement.sterngard friegen wrote: ↑Tue Apr 06, 2021 3:02 pm
Members of the House can only attain their seats through election. Appointment is for Senators only.

I believe she first leased a condo in Fl in December or January, so she wouldn't qualify for the two year residency requirement ahead of a November 2022 election. As for the district residency, I would imagine she could rent an apartment in the district and spend some time there. That's how Brian Bilbray managed to qualify as a resident in CA 50.The Constitution requires a Representative to be at least 21 years of age, a resident of the district from which elected, and a resident of Florida for two years prior to election.
