If they're serious about giving DC representation, it should get two senators as well.

One, the bill is obviously unconstitutional.

Two, anyone who thinks DC should get two senators should be shot.

I agree that constitutionally DC needs either statehood or a constitutional amendment to get representation. That being said, I would support either option so that residents of the district can get representation. I can tell that A18 is scared of two extra dem senators or else he wouldn't want to shoot me.

Article I, Section 2: "The House of Representatives shall be composed of members chosen every second year by the people of the several states..."
Article I, Section 3: "The Senate of the United States shall be composed of two Senators from each state..." Either an amendment or statehood would be a required for DC representation.
