On April 22, 2021, for the second consecutive year, the US House of Representatives voted 216-208 to make Washington, DC, the nation's 51st state. Though the symbolically titled H.R. 51 bill is identical to the one passed on June 26, 2020, the legislation was never put to the vote in the then Republican-controlled Senate.

brooklynj4년 이상It can't be! We will have to change all the flags to 51 stars and even change the name! KEEP IT HOW IT IS!I grew up like this don't change it! I want 50 states and I'm fine with that! Like who else agrees with me it will be hard work! The flags tell it all! Think about it back in the past was us all the wars and how they used the same flags 50 stars and 13 stripes and can't just change the past NOOOO! Keep it the same keep America the same!I want America to stay the same! If they make it the same I will just cry come on it will change the past!
