If as a result of redistricting a State the domicile of a cadet, or a nominee, nominated by a Representative falls within a congressional district other than that from which he was nominated, he is charged to the district in which his domicile so falls.

However, the number as so increased is reduced by one if he fails to become a cadet or when he is finally separated from the Academy.
