DC Statehood Would Be Unconstitutional

The people who live and pay taxes in the current DC dont want to be Virginia or Maryland citizens.

 

The amendment grants to the district electors in the Electoral College, as though it were a state, though the district can never have more electors than the least-populous state. How the electors are appointed is to be determined by Congress.

 

It is in no way Constitutional. DC is land that was ceded from Maryland and Virginia. Areas that cease to be part of DC would go back to the state that ceded it initially. Furthermore, there is no reason to make a city/area of 68 sq miles a state. This is not in the spirit of The Constitution. We may as well make NY, Chicago and LA into states. By the way, that would help Republicans but I am against it.

 

Then they are stuck being DC residents without representation in Congreff unless a Constitutional Amendment is ratified.

 

"How" the Electors are appointed is much different than "How Many"

 

Nothing in The Constitution says that.The Constitution does say Congress can make new states.

 

Or until The Democrat party in The WH,Senate and House give them a state.

 

the district can never have more electors than the least-populous state.

That means the number of electors can change

 

The area having more residents than Wyoming is a reason to make it a state.

 

The fact that they pay more taxes than many states is a reason to make it a state.
