Americans living in our nation's capital pay full federal taxes, fight and die in wars and serve on juries, yet they are denied voting representation in the House of Representatives and the Senate.
As result of the Home Rule Act of 1973, DC residents have a locally-elected mayor and council, but still all locally passed laws, as well as DC's local budget, must be sent to Congress for review and approval. At any time, Congress can overrule decisions of the local government. No other jurisdiction in the country is subjected to such oversight.
