Vacation home, but his primary residence was Texas.

True. But, if you asked Dick Cheney where he was from, he'd have responded "Wyoming".

That's where he was born and raised and who he represented in Congress. Texas might have been where he lived at the time, but "home" was Wyoming.

And that's consistent with the purpose of the constitutional distinction. Having to change his voter registration was the technicality, not the state he represented.

Except Cheney wasn’t born in Wyoming. He was born in Lincoln, Nebraska and was a Nebraskan for his formative years. He did attend High School in Casper, though and UW after he tried going to Yale. Within a decade, by 1969, he was already in DC working for the young Wisconsin liberal Republican Congressman Bill Steiger. Aside from being out of the Ford Administration in 1977, he then ran for Congress at once and went right back again to DC.

Let’s face it, as an adult, he was never a full-time resident of Wyoming. His kids grew up in the DC area, which was most telling of all. Of course, if you really want to ever see your spouse and kids, you pretty much have to have them move there (if you work in DC).
