The House Committee on Oversight and Reform has rescheduled a hearing on statehood for D.C. for March 22, according to Congresswoman Eleanor Holmes Norton.
The hearing was initially scheduled for March 11.
Last year, the same committee passed a bill for D.C. statehood, sending it to the House floor for the first time since 1993.
The House of Representatives adopted the bill, but it stalled out once it reached the Senate.
Norton re-introduced the bill in January, with 202 co-sponsors. The bill’s co-sponsor number has since swelled to 212.

Can they do this without changing the Constitution???? The reason why Washington, D.C. isn’t a state can be traced back to the American Revolution when the Continental Congress had no permanent location. The founding fathers disagreed about the location of a permanent capital when writing the U.S. Constitution, but they agreed on the idea of a federal city. So DC is a federal city. The Democrats are spending so much time erasing History maybe they better read it. https://www.history.com/news/washington-dc-statehood-reconstruction
