McCormack</i>) says the Senate can refuse to seat Burris if they determine that either: 1) He's under 30 years of age, 2) he has not been a citizen of the US for at least 9 years, or 3) he's not currently a resident of Illinois. If he meets the qualifications for the seat--and those are the only three--then the Senate has to seat him. Legal precedent (SCOTUS in Powell v.
