I think it was created as a non voting delegate position, precisely, because it would be unconstitutional for her to have a voting position in Congress.

There are also non voting delegates from Puerto Rico and the Virgin Islands.

I don’t view those as constitutional either!
They’re lobbyists with a fancy title on taxpayer payroll.

They did it that way because they wanted to avoid an imperial city like Rome.

In Rome, everything they did was to do the best thing for Rome, and places like Pompeii could go pound sand, and the Romans didn’t give a crap what they thought.

Sounds like Washington DC today.
