Everything about The District Of Columbia Home Rule Act totally explained
The
District of Columbia Home Rule Act is a
United States federal law passed in 1973.
It devolved certain congressional powers of the
District of Columbia to local government, furthering
District of Columbia home rule. In particular, it provided for an elected
mayor and the
Council of the District of Columbia. The Council is composed of a Chairman elected at large and twelve Members--four of whom are elected at large, and one from each of the District's eight wards. A Member is elected to serve a four-year term.
Under the "Home Rule" government, Congress reviews all legislation passed by the Council before it can become law and retains authority over the District's budget. Also, the President appoints the District's judges, and the District still has no voting representation in Congress. Because of these and other limitations on local government, many citizens of the District continue to lobby for the authority held by all 50 states.
