6. Let's not forget

Let's not forget the residents of Washington, DC who can vote for POTUS but lack true Congressional Representation and voting powers in Congress. It's sad that the great Eleanor Holmes Norton represents all DC residents as a Delegate but can't vote on the House Floor with no Senators from DC. I understand statehood has to be granted "from the several states" as per the Constitution but granting statehood and citizenship needs as serious update however politically uncomfortable it is to deal with!
