That's what Hillary did. :shrug:
Hillary did more than just buy a house. She established residency in accordance with NY state law.

It's nothing to establish residency in a state. But neither here nor there because Sarah Palin isn't going to be an Arizona Senator.
Being reported today that the AZ Governor has selected former Senator Jon Kyl to replace McCain in the Senate.
It's not enough to own a house there. You have to live there based on the residency requirements of that state.
When Al Gore's father represented Tennessee, he and his wife rented a hotel room in Tennessee but, as I remember, lived full time in D.C. area.

Actually, it's the other way around. They had a farm in Carthage TN and rented a hotel room in DC.
It's a bunch of double negatives. Broken down, it's:
No person shall be a Senator who shall not ..., when elected, be an Inhabitant of that State for which he shall be chosen.
Means you have to be an inhabitant of the state.
Yes, and you would be in this case. The Constitution says they have to live in the state they represent. There is no other language that waives this requirement. Even in the case of an appointment.

Can you show me those words? Because, I quoted the constitution, and it says, "...when elected..."
Again, I firmly believe I could have missed it, but that's what it says. Where is it that says, "no, not really just when elected, but always."?
There are no other words. The Constitution requires that a senator be a resident of the state they represent. I understand your point with regards to "when elected" but there is no language that waives the residency requirement for any reason, including appointments to fill an uncompleted term.
The key words there, to me, "...when elected..."
Remember when Kathleen Kennedy Townsend ran for governor, here, about 15 years ago?
A Democrat, running in a very Democratic state - and lost to Ehrlich. Only the seventh Republican governor to ever be elected here.
Nobody likes it when someone from elsewhere sets up shop, owns a home - and then claims to represent the people there.
I don't like it when ANYONE does it. Do you remember Hillary campaigning with a Yankee ball cap on? I doubt she could name a single player, then.
She wasn't a New Yorker.
It may be legal - but it sucks. I find that it fails at least as often as it succeeds.

But they elected her anyway.

It was funny to see Hillary wearing a Yankees ball cap since she'd always claimed to be a ChiSox fan.
