The Constitution for the United States of America says members of the house shall be chosen "by the people of the several states"
The District of Columbia is not a State. It is a district. If the people in DC are entitled to a vote in Congress then the people of the Philippines were, too, when they were a protectorate.
This is stupid people. Just because the Congress has authority over D.C. "in all cases whatsoever" does not make it a State. For a moment there, I was thinking that, because Congress controls DC in all cases, and they want DC to have a vote, they were just looking to grab a little more power, by having a Representative controlled by Congress.
nah, they wouldn't do that. After all, they're the representatives of the peeeeople.
