“Can you point me to that citation regarding home ownership?”
I’m not all that familure with Louisiana law as their legal system are based on Napoleonic Code, but I have never heard if a case of a congressman, senator or president not owning a home in their home district or home state.

That is my question as to what constitutes residency. Does it mandate home ownership or other things. Many people are residents of states without being home owners. In fact I’d guess a large portion of state residents rent, lease of live with someone else.
