Congress cannot just give the District of Columbia a representative by passing a law. Such an action requires a constitutional amendment.

Exactly how is it unconstitutional?  What clause do you believe it violates?
"The House of Representatives shall be composed of Members chosen every second Year by the People of the several States."

The District of Columbia is not one of the "several States."
