H.J.Res.37

[Tench_Coxe]

Proposing an amendment to the Constitution of the United States to provide that Representatives shall be apportioned among the several States according to their respective numbers, counting the number of persons in each State who are citizens of the United States.

[Tench_Coxe]

We should not need to amend the Constitution to address this.

But John Adams said it best:
“Our Constitution was made only for a moral and religious People. It is wholly inadequate to the government of any other.”

[Yo-Yo]

Approved.

Now do Birthright Citizenship eligibility.

[exnavy]

I think we do that, illegal aliens are not counted.

[packagingguy]

You could probably get this through if you threw in permanent legal residents. If Democrats object to that compromise then they’ll show their nefarious intent.

[ExTxMarine]

I like that idea.

[falcon99]

You are incorrect. They are apportioned according to the state’s total population, regardless of citizenship status.

[grcuster]

Currently they do count illegals in the census count. Reason we need to change if can pass all the hurdles.

[mabarker1]

Just another attempt at getting the U.S. Constitution OPENED UP so the gungrabberdemonratcommieblmantifaterrorscumfeminazipedophilegoatrapers can REMOVE/GUT/STRIP/REWRITE THE 2^nd Amendment.

[Steven Scharf]

Until we control 2/3rds of the US House and Senate, this amendment will not pass the first step.

That said there is a difference between resident population and Census apportionment population.

he 2020 Census apportionment population includes the resident population of the 50 states, plus a count of the U.S. military personnel and federal civilian employees living outside the United States (and their dependents living with them) who can be allocated to a home state. The populations of the District of Columbia and Puerto Rico are not included in the apportionment population because they do not have voting seats in the U.S. House of Representatives.

TOTAL RESIDENT POPULATION (50 states only)~~~~~~~~330,759,736

TOTAL APPORTIONMENT POPULATION (50 states only)~~~~~~~~331,108,434*

* Includes the resident population for the 50 states, as ascertained by the Twenty-Fourth Decennial Census under Title 13, United States Code, and counts of U.S. military and federal civilian employees living overseas (and their dependents living with them overseas) allocated to their home state, as reported by the employing federal agencies. The apportionment population excludes the population of the District of Columbia. The counts of overseas personnel (and dependents) are used for apportionment purposes only.
