If Trump moved, it wouldn’t be the first time a change of address preceded a presidential election. In 2000, George W. Bush and Dick Cheney both called Texas home — until Cheney picked up and went to Wyoming just as Bush tapped him to be his running mate. A legal challenge to Cheney’s claim to the Electoral College votes from Texas failed in the courts, with the U.S. Supreme Court ultimately declining to intervene. Cheney served two terms as Bush’s vice president.

Yale Law Professor Akhil Reed Amar said judges should be “very hesitant” to question the decisions of where people want to live and said Trump could switch his residency in late 2024 without sparking a Constitutional conundrum.


Trump, possessing little or no respect for law as it applies to himself, can get around it easily.
