In 2000, Hillary Rodham Clinton
became the first First Lady
elected to public office, and
the first female Senator for
New York. A former resident of
Illinois, Arkansas and Washington, DC,
she was a New York State resident
for just over thirteen months before
becoming its junior senator — but
NY law only requires one to be a
resident on Election Day; a Supreme
Court ruling requires states to
accept residents of 30 days as
eligible for candidacy. George H. W.
Bush stayed in a Houston hotel a
few nights per year to claim
(income-tax-free) Texas residency.
