Perhaps you’ve missed it in the fray. HR 78 is a resolution that allows the representatives from the District of Columbia, Guam, American Samoa, the Virgin Islands and Puerto Rico to vote on the floor of the House, rather than only in the committees to which they’ve been assigned. There’s a big problem with this.
It violates the United States Constitution.
And its not some obscure line hidden way down in the many lines of the Constitution, Article 1, Section 1 points out that “The House of Representatives shall be composed of members chosen…by the people of the several states.” Nice and clear, right?
If HR 78 passes, not anymore. Thanks Democrat House Leader Steny Hoyer! We really appreciate your efforts to streamline government! This will make so much more sense!
