Summary:

Examines constitutional issues raised by H.R. 1905, the D.C. House Voting Rights Act of 2007, and H.Res. 78, both to grant the Delegate of D.C. voting rights in the House of Representatives or the Committee of the Whole. Explains the meaning of the term "State" in the House representation clause, examines the power of Congress to provide representation to political entities that are not States, and discusses the significance of National Mutual Insurance Co. v. Tidewater Transfer Co. and the significance of limiting delegate voting to the Committee of the Whole.
