As another Lame Cherry exclusive in matter anti matter.
With Bidencon planning to stack the Supreme Court, the move is to stack the Congress for some reason when Biden has Dominion stealing elections. The crux of this is DC Statehood which is honestly not possible, because in the below you will read the history of the District, which was placed under Congressional control. The basis of this is they could have city representation and nothing else.
The expansion of DC's "powers" have been unConstitutional, because President Lyndon Johnson, through an executive order, expanded DC's political representation, which then Congress expanded to allowing DC to vote for representation.
Congress original intent only allowed after the district was formed out of Maryland and Virginia lands, the residents of the district some form of self government.
Some form of self government, is not the creation of a City State. The district is only 10 by 10 miles.
Rhode Island, the smallest State is huge compared to DC.
Rhode Island - Size, Founder & Facts - HISTORY
Rhode Island, measuring only about 48 miles long and 37 miles wide, is the smallest of the U.S. states. Despite its small area, Rhode Island, known as the "Ocean State," boasts over 400 miles of...
Ohio has 44,800 miles in surface area. That is comparable with most States. Most States have counties bigger than DC. It is not equal representation in Statehood in all rights compared to States that take 5 hours to drive across while DC can be driven across in 5 minutes.
DC was created as a Federal District, like a post office or a military base. One does not appoint Senators equal to States for a post office and military bases are bigger by ten times than DC.
This is the scam of stacking the Congress and it is unthinkable, except in the corrupt regime which is America. A State is something which has requirements. It must produce things, like have land for farming, like it has industry, like it is self sustaining, and not a district which sucks billions of dollars out of 50 real states to live in a dictatorial ivory tower which is Washington DC.
An entity has to fulfill the requirements of what a State is before it can enter into these United States. DC is nothing but a toxic cancer which feeds off of the rest of America.
Nuff Said
The location of the national capital was born out of a political compromise between the northern and southern states after the United States had achieved its independence. The South feared that the North would have too much influence if the capital were placed in a northern city. The North demanded federal assistance in paying its Revolutionary War debt, something the South was strongly against. Alexander Hamilton initiated a compromise whereby the federal government would pay off the war debt in return for locating the capital between the states of Maryland and Virginia on the Potomac River.
In 1800, Virginia and Maryland ceded portions of land to the federal government. The citizens living in the new capital were required to give up all the political rights they had enjoyed as inhabitants of Maryland and Virginia. In return, Congress, which had exclusive power over the district, would allow them some form of self-government. In 1802, Congress called for an appointed mayor and an elected council in the district. By 1820, the election of the mayor was also permitted.
This form of representative government lasted in the district until 1874, when Congress abolished the citizens' right to vote for their local officials and established a three-person board of commissioners appointed by the president. For over one hundred years, the residents of the District of Columbia were denied the democratic right to elected local representation.
Although residents of the district had always been required to pay federal Income Tax and serve in the military, their right to vote in presidential elections was denied until the 1961 passage of the Twenty-Third Amendment to the Constitution. This amendment granted the district a number of votes in the Electoral College, not to exceed the number given to the least populous state.
Home Rule
In 1967, through an Executive Order (Exec. Order No. 11379, 32 FR 15625, 1967 WL 7776 [Pres.]), President lyndon b. johnson did away with the three-member board of commissioners and appointed a mayor and a council for the district. In 1970, the district was given back its nonvoting delegate in Congress. But this still did not satisfy residents who demanded full self-determination. Congress then passed the District Home Rule Act of 1973 (Pub. L. 93-198, Dec. 24, 1973, 87 Stat. 774), and restored to the citizens their right to vote for a local government. For the first time in exactly a hundred years, the residents of the District of Columbia were able to vote for a mayor and a 13-member council.
The Constitution granted Congress complete legislative authority over the District of Columbia. Congress alone has the jurisdiction to expand the district's powers over local government affairs. It also has the jurisdiction to contract those same powers. Congress, through the Home Rule Act, dictated the legislative powers to the district council and the executive powers to the mayor. Advisory neighborhood commissions, which are groups elected by the residents, advise the council on matters of public policy. Congress still retains ultimate legislative authority through its power to Veto any of the district's legislation.
Statehood
Besides the citizens of U.S. territories, district residents are the only U.S. citizens without full representation in Congress and with federal limitations on their own local government. Advocates of statehood rebel against such restrictions. They argue that because the district's congressional delegate is not allowed to vote, residents are subject to a fundamental democratic wrong, taxation without representation. They add that because Congress retains control over the city's purse strings, city officials are powerless in raising more revenue. Federal restrictions on taxation have prevented the district from taxing commuters as have some other U.S. cities, which could have given the district a huge tax windfall.
Opponents of statehood argue that the District of Columbia belongs to all U.S. citizens, and therefore all citizens should have a say in how it is managed. Constitutionally, Congress has complete authority over the district, and to have it otherwise would require a constitutional amendment (supporters dismiss this argument, pointing out that 37 states were allowed into the Union through only a simple majority vote in Congress). If the district were to become an independent state, some opponents argue, the federal government would have to abide by the laws of this new state. Opponents of statehood also maintain that the district's power needs to be checked by Congress because of the district's financial difficulties.
