Washington, D.C. Admission Act

The Washington, D.C. Admission Act would admit Washington, D.C. as a new state called "Washington, Douglass Commonwealth," granting it full representation with two U.S. Senators and one U.S. Representative. The bill would establish the new state's boundaries, with the area serving as the seat of government (the "Capital") remaining under federal jurisdiction for specific purposes. It would repeal the District of Columbia's congressional delegate position and its participation in presidential elections, while providing for a transition period overseen by a Statehood Transition Commission to handle the shift from district to state governance.
