Mr. Kiley of California introduced the following bill; which was referred to the Committee on the Judiciary
A BILL
To prohibit States from carrying out more than one Congressional redistricting after a decennial census and apportionment.
Be it enacted by the Senate and House of Representatives of the United States of America in Congress assembled,
SECTION 1. Finding of constitutional authority.
Congress finds that it has the authority to establish the terms and conditions States must follow in carrying out Congressional redistricting after an apportionment of Members of the House of Representatives because—
- (1) the authority granted to Congress under article I, section 4 of the Constitution of the United States gives Congress the power to enact laws governing the time, place, and manner of elections for Members of the House of Representatives; and
- (2) the authority granted to Congress under section 5 of the fourteenth amendment to the Constitution gives Congress the power to enact laws to enforce section 2 of such amendment, which requires Representatives to be apportioned among the several States according to their number.
