give me the money quote, since you pretend you have it:

cite the law that says residency doesn't matter if a person resides in illinois in their mind, by "intent" or has a job with the president.

it's very easy to link the law, if it exists.

if it doesn't, i'm not going to read 10 pages of legal bullshit trying to finesse that fact.

On edit: LOL. I made the mistake of looking. What a pitiful pile of crap.

Translation:

1. Serving the president is very important, therefore the laws don't matter.

2. The section of Illinois code regarding voting says voters (30-day residency requirement) don't lose their voting residency if they go out of state on government business, so that must mean that anyone can run for mayor whether they fulfill the 1-year residency requirement or not, so long as they're doing some kind of "government business".

Oh, except the learned Morris, like the poster on this thread, doesn't note that the section of the code he quotes is about VOTING RIGHTS (RESIDENCY REQUIREMENT 30 DAYS) & not right to run for office (RESIDENCY REQUIREMENT 1 YEAR)

3. Rahm is rich & backed by powerful people who want him to run Chicago, & those same people pay me by the decision, ergo Rahm can be mayor, govenor, president, king, what do I care as long as I get my palm crossed with silver?


It looks like the only fixed requirement for holding public office these days is TO BE CORRUPT AS A MOTHERFUCKER.
