To be a member of the US Senate, you have to be... * at least 30 years old. * a U.S. citizen for at least nine years at the time of election to the Senate. * a resident of the state one is elected to represent in the Senate. This is all spelled out in the Constitution. They did miss one qualification though and that is $$$$. Most good people you would want to have as leaders don't have the money and/or the inclination to go through the "wringer" of political slime for power/fame. Too bad as that leaves mostly narcissists to apply. You can see where that is getting us. You are technically as qualified as she is and have a better platform.
