The 23rd Amendment

Section 1.
The district constituting the seat of government of the united states shall appoint in such manner as the congress may direct: a number of electors of president and vice president equal to the whole number of senators and representatives in congress to which the district would be entitled if it were a state, but in no event more than the least populous state; they shall be in addition to those appointed by the states, but they shall be considered, for the purposes of the election of president and vice president, to be electors appointed by a state; and they shall meet in the district and perform such duties as provided by the twelfth article of amendment

Section 2.
The congress shall have power to enforce this article by appropriate legislation.

I think that this is important because it gives the people living in the District of Columbia some say in what president gets elected, and this is important so everyone in the united states is represented with their votes

I thought that this was a good representation of what the residents are fighting for now.

I thought that this was a good representation of what the core of the 23rd amendment involved
