But there are two Senators and only one Represntative. Does that imply more statewide power?
Power also comes from seniority - a House member in the majority party who chairs an important committee arguably is more powerful than a first-year Senator in the minority party.
I think the Pres/VP state residency issue is with the Electoral College. Bush/Rubio, both Florida residents, could run, but the Florida electoral college members could not vote for them both (each member has to give one vote to a non-resident of their state). So the ticket would have to cede/lose Florida, which would be dumb if not fatal. But technically they could run and serve.
