Washington DC To Be The 51st State

On April 22 the U.S. House of Representatives voted, for the second time in less than a year, to make the Washington DC the 51st state, sending it to the Senate where it will face a vote(and likely not pass again).216-208, the Democratic-controlled House approved the initiative with no Republican vote for it.The population of Washington, D.C., is Mostly Democratic. would elect 2 democratic senaters and alter the balance of power in the Senate, which now has 50 Democrats and 50 Republicans.Democrats have been pushing the issue of statehood for DC for decades, Democrats say "more than 700,000 Americans citizens who pay federal taxes, who fight and die in wars, who serve on our juries and yet have no vote in the Senate or the House of Representatives," said Democratic Representative Jan Schakowsky. "That is the definition of taxation without representation." The new state would be named "Washington, Douglass Commonwealth" after George Washington, the first U.S. president, and Frederick Douglass, a former enslaved person who became a famous abolitionist.The U.S. Constitution provided for a federal district under the exclusive jurisdiction of U.S. Congress; the district is therefore not a part of any U.S. state (nor is it one itself). The signing of the Residence Act on July 16, 1790, approved the creation of a capital district.
We spent time outside the Whitehouse, BLM Plaza, and the US capital taking to Americans and asking them what they thought. Although most seemed for it there was still very different opinions on the issue
