IF Maxine Waters can cheat about residency, then every one else can.......

The Constitution merely requires a Congressional member live in the same state — not same district — they represent. Mad Max could live a mile south of the Oregon border and still legally represent South Central L.A. However, if she lived on the opposite side of the state line, she cannot. If McBath is a TN resident, she is illegally occupying a House seat.

I understand that California law does not require Representatives to live in the districts they represent—and the Constitution does not require it either. But the Constitution does require one to be a resident of the state one represents. I wonder if this has come up before and how it was resolved.
