If only this could get through the Senate filibuster process.

It wouldn’t matter.
Only takes 5 Special People on the “Supreme” Court to nullify it.
Democracy!
Pffft.

It can, if it becomes a campaign issue for 2026. Thaddeus Stevens proposed that congressional representation should be limited by the number of a state's citizens. The idea isn't new, but probably requires a constitutional amendment.

Citizenship was never a requirement for representation. Even slaves were counted albeit as 3/5’s of a person. That however does not mean only counting citizens is a bad idea. Why should citizens in high immigrant areas effectively get more representation in congress than citizens in low immigration areas? Doesn’t seem fair does it?
