[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][b]Just give Washington citizens voting representation in Congress[/b]. Statehood is too complicated (there are sound constitutional arguments against it), politically challenging and even it statehood came to be, it likely would prove financially costly for Washingtonians.[/quote] The way you do that is: statehood.[/quote] You could make a special exception for DC to have congressional representatives but no statehood (no senators, no governors, no elected body beyond the current mayor and city government). This would be a comfortable compromise. I imagine most Americans would get on board with it. [/quote] +1 Agree![/quote] WHO could do this? And what would be the legal authority for it? Also, the Senate is part of Congress.[/quote]
