House Approves Vote for D.C.

April 19, 2007

Reuters---The capital of the United States would get its first full representative in the U.S. Congress under a bill approved Thursday in defiance of a White House veto threat.

The Democratic-led House of Representatives voted 241-177 to expand its chamber and provide a representative for the District of Columbia, a city commonly referred to as Washington in honor of America's first president.

Mayor Andrian Fenty called the action "a great and historic day for the residents of the District of Columbia" and urged the Senate to give its needed concurrence.
