Topic: Supreme Court Cases



Expert: Paul Edward Zukowski
Date: 10/23/2003
Subject: United States Constitution: Article 1, section 2, paragraph 2

Question
Is there a difference between being an inhabitant of a state and being a citizen in that state when one wishes to run for the House of Representatives.  I recently visited the Sparknotes website and was reviewing their information on this section of the Constitution.  They subsituted the word citizen for inhabitant.  Does it make a legal difference?  The Constitution is, afterall, a legal document.  I appreciate any assistance or insight you may be able to offer regarding this matter.

Answer
Here is the actual text

Clause 2:


No Person shall be a Representative who shall not have attained to the Age of twenty five Years, and been seven Years a Citizen of the United States, and who shall not, when elected, be an Inhabitant of that State in which he shall be chosen.


They  must be a US citizen with all rights of citizenship.
Inhabitant means you must live in the area you represent.
They are different things.
John Smith was born in say Boston  Mass.
THat would make him a US Citizen, and an  Inhabitant of that State of Mass.
He still lives there.
He could not run for the house in say L. A. CA .as he in an Inhabitant of CA. He could run in Mass where he lives.
If he moved to L. A. he could run as he would then be an inhabitant of CA.
