“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.”

Double negative... starting at the beginning with “No Person”. iow gotta have been inhabitant of the state. That’s what it seems to mean to me.
>>when elected
Absolutely fascinating. Thank you for forcing me to read that carefully. So you don’t have to be a resident WHILE you’re campaigning. You just have to move to the state or district A FEW MINUTES BEFORE you win.
thanks. i get it now.
