Call for a revision or repeal of the Apportionment Act of 1911

Created by A.L. on January 09, 2013

The Apportionment Act of 1911 sets the number of seats in the US House of Representatives at 435. With the growth of the US population, a citizen in 2013 has less of a voice in the House than a citizen in 1911.

The President should call on Congress to revise this entirely statutory limit upward or to adjust the number of seats decennially rather than reapportion a limited number of them.
