Admission Act, Congress has yet to grant full statehood. It highlights the District of Columbia's history, including its establishment and the passage of the Twenty-Third Amendment. The resolution also points out that a majority of D.C. voters have approved initiatives for statehood and criticizes federal interference with local governance.
