Inhabitant of that state in which he shall be chosen?

Does that mean only males are allowed to be members of Congress? Based on the constitution as written?

ha.
you’re sharp as a tack today, ha.

no thanks. i aint gonna dive down that rabbit hole.
see:

however, you may enjoy noting that the constitution only requires the congresscritter to live in the state ... not in the district it represents

so we have some congresscritters who actually reside outside the districts they supposedly represent

in a gerrymandering some years back, Maxine Waters (aka” Mad Max” one of the craziest and most racist lefties around)
saw ‘her’ district lines move......away from the expensive little neighborhood she lives in. She has never seen fit to move into the district (much poorer and high crime) she supposedly represents.
since she is resident in her state, that satisfies that element of the constitutional qualifications
