I think we will run against a stone wall. no matter which side of the question we take. if we follow it to its conclusion. In view of the statement of the Senator. suppose a State elects a man who possesses all the qualifications necessary for taking the office of United States Senator. According to the Senators idea he is a Senator. but suppose he does not present himself. suppose he goes along a year without presenting himself and is not sworn in. and then goes to England and announces publicly that he has gone there and intends to stay there 4 years more. He takes out naturalization papers in Great Britain. Has he been a Senator of the United States during that time?
