I suspect that will not be a problem in the end. There is a question as to his Residency since there is a Argument that is now a resident of Maryland. Under Louisiana Law he has to be a citizen for 5 years. HEre is an article on this

To be honest I think that barrier is not as big as the paper says it is. Citizenship is the term that used and not "resident" Citizenship I think is a tad more fluid term and requires much more of a intent than just residency because it relates to domicile.

That article is pretty informative.

You're right there. The state courts have been very lenient on letting people be on the ballot and "let the voters decide". If John Breaux wants to run, he WILL be on the ballot!
