It’s not a matter if you or I SHOULD be in the Senate. According to the Constitution we COULD and are qualified to be in the Senate as well as millions of other Americans. As has been pointed out many times in this forum, “qualified” and “politician” are not synonymous. Kennedy is qualified according to the Constitution and COULD be in the Senate – whether she SHOULD be is open for debate.
There is a difference between being qualified and eligible. The criteria within the Constitution only is concerned with who is eligible to be placed on the ballot. The voters (or in this special case, the state governor) determine from the eligible candidates who is best qualified to serve.
