Got removed as senator?
As per the title. Won the election, but quickly thereafter, I lost my spot for no discernible reason. Are you forbidden from traveling while holding office? Or do you get quasi impeached if you forget to vote on an issue?

You have to be in the state when you decide to run and you must be in the state on election day, however, not any other time.
Are you a state or federal senator?
Oddly enough, though, as a federal senator, when I travel to other states, it lists me as a third senator in that new state that I'm in and will only list one (not two,) senator in the state where I was elected.

Federal senator in Texas. As far as I remember, I was in Texas on the day I registered and the day the election took place, though I could be wrong.
It could be that the previous senator retired before their 6-year term was complete and you were the senator just for the remaining time of their term. That's just speculation, though.

The developers haven't answered anything since January, I believe. I have sent several bug notices among update issues, et cetera. I do hope they respond soon.

Possible, though you'd expect some notification. From what I could tell, as I ran for office, every other elected federal office was up for election, too, though, so I assume I must've been misremembering or encountered some bug.

What I'm waiting for is more QoL. You should be able to set a host of conditions for automatic expansion.

Did you became a CEO? If so, you are leaving your office.

Great thought! I had forgotten about that.
Years ago, if your company was successful and you became CEO, you'd get a $12-20M salary. Now, even if your company owns 80% of the state's market, you only get $30,000-60,000.

Thanks for your participation in this discussion.

I did. I wanted to have my billion-dollar firm acquire companies in different states, which is much easier to do without any dividends (which are taxed) by just using its own funds. I think you really should be able to do this if you own the entirety of a company, without needing to become CEO yourself

Having played a good bit more now, what is needed most of all is QoL stuff. Baffling you can't sort a legislative chamber by loyalty and party, say, or delegate a bit (with hundreds of congressmen, and every successful negotiation taking a day, how do you gain all the influence you might want, when they always want shares of companies you have no stake in?). As soon as you crack the billions, it just becomes extremely micro-intensive.
