Reply to comment by SunOutrageous6098 in Can Fettermans wife really become the senator if he’s unable? by ChickenGreaseLips

…what? I don’t need you to explain how the process would work. I literally just responded to the notion that someone as unqualified as her shouldn’t be in any discussion

I’m saying she is no more or less qualified than some currently elected people who say things like “If it’s a legitimate [assault] the female body has ways to try to shut that whole thing down.”, while arguing that women don’t get pregnant by non consensual sex.

The Constitution sets three qualifications for service in the U.S. Senate: age (at least thirty years of age); U.S. citizenship (at least nine years); and residency in the state a senator represents at time of election.

She meets all of these qualifications.

Edited to add that today, an elected official proposed a bill to abolish the Department of Education at the end of the year. So I’m interested to hear what you think makes someone qualified to be a U.S. Senator, beyond what is outlined in the Constitution.
