Vote on Washington DC statehood schedule for today!
Well the Dems know how to stack the deck and for decades this idea has been highly debated but now w woke culture and do what ever is necessary to crush the resistance the house will vote on an historic moment to add DC as a 51 state of the union.

Granting DC two senators and one additional congressional seat.
This will have to move on to the senate for approval.
The President is strongly urging this vote to take place now.


Very surprised this is not a pinned thread here at GLP

 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 80085247


The constitution requires Washing DC district as separate
and NOT a State.

However, it does NOT define the size of the district.

Therefore, the Dems can simply shrink the District to
include the White House and Congress, and a few blocks
(for example) as Washington, District of Columbia.

The rest of the old district now is to be named
"Washington Douglas Commonwealth", and vote on this area
to be the 51st state.

No constitutional amendment needed.

It's and end around.

Next up, Puerto Rico.

We are then officially a banana republic.

Kamala Harris is not a Natural Born Citizen. She's illegally running.

Used by the Founders...
Book I of The Law of Nations, Chapter XIX, § 212 (Joseph Chitty numbering) – “Citizens and natives”
reads: 'The citizens are the members of the civil society; bound to this society by certain duties, and subject to
its authority, they equally participate in its advantages. The natives, or natural-born citizens, are those born in
the country, of parents who are citizens. As the society cannot exist and perpetuate itself otherwise than by
the children of the citizens
, those children naturally follow the condition of their fathers, and succeed to all
their rights.' 1758 Emerich de Vattel

Oh' What the Hell, do I look like I want to die in some nursing home one day...
America must have 4 new Constitutional Amendments...
1. Drug Tests and Mental Evaluations on all politicians and judges randomly five times per year.
2. Term Limits for Federal politicians and judges.
3. Mental and health standards for Supreme Court Justices and retirement age set.
4. A 'Star Chamber' of elected Natural Born Citizens (no attorney's) to ivestigate, try, and prosecute the politicians and government employee's as they see fit.

Mandatory death penalty by public hanging is the merciful sentence for pedos and their associates.
