Would this amendment apply to Senators moving from one seat to another? For example, I was elected to my At-Large seat in a special election in November 2011, reelected in the general election in December 2011, and have declared for the general election in April 2012. If I wanted to vacate my At-Large seat and run for the Northeast seat in June 2012, could I under the terms of this amendment? Because if so that's a fairly obvious loophole in the intentions of the amendment. The text of the amendment (saying simply 'the Senate') indicates that the answer is no, but it admits of slight ambiguity concerning the meaning of 'consecutive'.
May I introduce an amendment to read
