42 Democrats voted along with Republicans

WATCH THE VOTE:

Those 162 need to be primaried and removed from office, is the general feeling from most of the GOP leadership.

Official reaction:

Under the Constitution, Congress, not the City Council, has final say over the laws governing our nation’s capital.

We have a responsibility to hold Washington DC accountable and stop the new criminal code from taking effect.

Tune in for my remarks: https://t.co/vmn31INPH5

🚨🚨 The House of Representatives just exercised our oversight over Washington, DC and passed a resolution disapproving the city's act allowing non-citizens to vote.

162 Dems voted against it.

Let that sink in. They are now on record supporting non-citizens voting in elections.

The Washington Post was sad. They reported that the “Republican-controlled U.S. House flexed its power over D.C. on Thursday in voting to block a pair of local bills, with support from dozens of Democrats as well — the curtain-raiser this session in a long history of congressional interference in the city’s local governance.”

The House voted in favor of two resolutions disapproving of the two D.C. bills: one that would allow noncitizens to vote in local D.C. elections; another marking a major revision of the city’s outdated criminal code, which has not been comprehensively updated since 1901. While the House Democratic whip urged Democrats to reject both resolutions, 42 Democrats joined Republicans to reject D.C. legislation allowing noncitizen voting and 31 joined Republicans to reject D.C.’s Revised Criminal Code Act of 2022.

The votes deal a major blow to local officials who implored members of Congress to stay out of the city’s affairs, although it is exactly the type of interference that they had been bracing for after the GOP took control of the House this year.

“We have two acts from the Washington, D.C., council that will dilute the vote of American citizens and endanger city residents and businesses,” House Speaker Kevin McCarthy (R-Calif.) said of the D.C. bills on the floor Thursday, arguing that it was Congress’s “responsibility” to intervene.

While D.C.’s home rule is limited, D.C. officials had urged members of Congress — who are not accountable to any D.C. residents — to avoid substituting their judgment for that of locally elected city council members.

Del. Eleanor Holmes Norton (D-D.C.), the District’s nonvoting representative, said there is “never justification for Congress nullifying legislation enacted by the District.”

“I can only conclude that the Republican leadership believes D.C. residents, the majority of whom are Black and Brown, are unworthy or uncapable of governing themselves,” she said on the floor.

Congress has oversight of D.C. and the final say on its laws and budget thanks to a provision in the Constitution. Thursday marks the first time since 2015 that a disapproval resolution targeting D.C. legislation has made it to the House floor, though it’s been roughly three decades since Congress has successfully used a disapproval resolution to overturn D.C. legislation; the resolutions must also be approved by the president.

Local political observers were watching closely to see how many Democrats would defect as the bill now heads to the Senate.
