In 1970 President Nixon signed a bill giving the District one non-voting at-large delegate to Congress. Technically, they are members of Congress.

Technically, they are members of Congress.

BUT, NOT CONGRESSMEN or CONGRESSWOMEN - the Constitution ONLY specifies Congressmen/women from the STATES ...

They are DELEGATES !!! On par with the delegates from the American territories ...
