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

They cannot legislate DC into statehood. It will require a constitutional amendment.
 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.

Eeeewwww....damn....you’re right. I honestly thought we had a Constitutional backstop, but you’re absolutely right.

We’re fucked
 Quoting: Larphillips



1871 – the District of Columbia Incorporation Act of 1871 was passed by Congress, creating a municipal government as a privately owned corporation that took control of D.C. In subsequent statutes in 1882 and later passed by Congress, the federal government became, in fact , the private, foreign corporation called the "United States" incorporated in 1868 and based in Washington, D.C. Further, in subsequent statutes the term "United States" meant ONLY the "District of Columbia"; NOT the various states of the Union under the Constitution.

Therefore, all U.S. citizens [i.e. citizens of the District of Columbia] residing in one of the states of the Union, are classified as property and franchisees of the federal government, and as an “individual entity.” See Wheeling Steel Corp. v. Fox 298 U.S. 193, 80 L.Ed. 1143, 56 S.Ct. 773. Under the “Buck Act,” 4 U.S.C Secs. 105-113, the federal government has created a “Federal area” within the boundaries of the several states. This area is similar to any territory that the federal government acquires through purchase, conquest or treaty, thereby imposing federal territorial law upon the people in this “Federal area.” Federal territorial law is evidenced by the Executive Branch’s Admiralty flag (a federal flag with a gold or yellow fringe on it) flying in schools, offices and courtrooms.

All acts of Congress are territorial in nature and can only apply within the territorial jurisdiction of Congress. See American Banana Co. v. United fruit Co., 213 U.S. 347, 356-357 (1909); U.S. v. Spelar, 338 U.S. 217, 222, 94 L.Ed. 3, 70 S.Ct. 402 (1925).

There has been created a fictional federal “State (of) within a state.” See Howard v. Sinking Fund of Louisville, 344 U.S. 624, 73 S.Ct. 465, 476, 97 L.Ed. 617 (1953); Schwarts v. O’Hara TP School District, 100 A 2d. 621, 625, 375, Pa. 440. Compare also 31 C.F.R. Parts 51.2 and 52.2, which also identify a fictional State within a state.
