What I'm suggesting that it means is that "inhabitant, when elected" means that the person has to be an inhabitant of the state *during the voting period*, but at no other time, while "inhabitant" is a more general phrase speaking to where the person lives in a larger sense. I'm not claiming that it *does* mean that, just that, to this particular uneducated layman, that's what it *sounds like* it means. - Ian -- Marriage, n: The state or condition of a community consisting of a master, a mistress, and two slaves, making, in all, two. -- Ambrose Bierce SSBB Diplomatic Corps; Boston, Massachusetts
