SHEPARD, Chief Justice.
The question is whether Secretary of State Evan Bayh presently meets our Constitution's residency requirement for the office of Governor. We hold that he does.
This dispute began in the newspapers and made its way into the legal system when Governor Robert D. Orr asked the State Election Board to resolve the matter. The Governor appointed an independent chairman to take his place on the Board for the purpose of investigating the validity of Bayh's declaration of candidacy. As the Board began its investigation, Bayh filed this action for declaratory judgment.
