Bill Summary
Urges Congress to repeal the Residence Act of 1790 and designate Missouri as the nation's capitol
AI Summary
This resolution urges Congress to repeal the Residence Act of 1790, which established Washington, D.C. as the nation's capital, and instead designate Missouri as the new national capital. The resolution argues that the capital should be centrally located and easily accessible to all citizens, and points to the 2020 census data indicating that the population center of the United States is now within Missouri. The resolution also directs the Chief Clerk of the Missouri House of Representatives to send copies of this resolution to key members of the U.S. Congress and Missouri's congressional delegation.
