U.S. Capital May Have A Vote in Congress

New Legislation will give the nation's capital Washington D.C. a vote in the Congress.

Foxnews' Polictics reports on D.C. possible voting power.

"The people of District of Columbia would get the vote in Congress the Founding Fathers denied them under legislation the Senate has approved.

"The Senate legislation would give the district a vote in the House of Representatives. The bill offsets what is certain to be a gain for Democrats by adding one seat in Republican-leaning Utah.

"The House is to take up the measure next week and is expected to pass it easily. More difficult could be a certain court challenge from opponents who say it is unconstitutional to give a vote to the nation's capital because it is not a state."

We tried to ask in the Twitter community to see what people thought about this. However, possibly the slow Thursday may be the cause that no one replied. So, we decided to ask our readers: what do you think of D.C., not being a state, to have a voting voice in the Congress?
