LinkLinksOpinion Robinson Woodward-Burns in The Post: Congress must fix a fatal flaw in the D.C. statehood bill By Editor On Apr 13, 2021 Last updated Apr 13, 2021 23 Share On Wednesday, the House Oversight and Reform Committee will mark up House Resolution 51, the pending D.C. statehood bill. The bill, which has enough co-sponsors to pass the House and nearly enough for the Senate, given filibuster circumvention, would grant the new state two senators and one representative. These seats would likely be claimed by Democrats, prompting congressional Republicans to question the bill’s constitutionality. 23 Share FacebookTwitterReddItWhatsAppEmailPrint
