Similar for municipalities and the fed. <br /><br />It's why the president should be from the USA, and not somewhere else. You'd think the birthers would appreciate residency requirements!<br /><br />Alas, residency "requirement" sounds so bad. In reality the requirement is really a "benefit" to a municipality's constituents.jpknoreply@blogger.com
