    Honest question, because this argument seems pretty fucking dumb. Is there not a process to vet and verify representatives? I would think that any crazy shit in their background would be found pretty quickly upon accepting the job.

    I mean, I get that a shitload of people have worked for this administration while ignoring their background or qualifications. In those instances, it was ignored because they wanted to. In this case, they are specifically out to get her.

      To be a Representative in the House you have to be at least 25 years old, a citizen for 7 years, and live in the state you’re elected.

      “Excuse me, but aren’t there rules and procedures for this?” will echo through time as the most impotent question ever asked.
