District of Columbia home rule (original) (raw)

dbo:abstract

District of Columbia home rule is District of Columbia residents' ability to govern their local affairs. As the federal capital, the Constitution grants the United States Congress exclusive jurisdiction over the District in "all cases whatsoever". At certain times, and presently since 1973, Congress has allowed certain powers of government to be carried out by locally elected officials. However, Congress maintains the power to overturn local laws and exercises greater oversight of the city than exists for any U.S. state. Furthermore, the District's elected government exists at the pleasure of Congress and could theoretically be revoked at any time. A separate yet related controversy is the District's lack of voting representation in Congress. The city's unique status creates a situation where D.C. residents have neither complete control over their local government nor voting representation in the body with complete control. In 2015, D.C. became a member of the Unrepresented Nations and Peoples Organization. (en)
哥伦比亚特区地方自治（英語：District of Columbia Home Rule）是美国华盛顿哥伦比亚特区当地居民管理本地事务的权力。作为美国联邦的首都，《美国宪法》赋予美国国会在“任何情况下”对该地区的专属管辖权。自1970年以来，在某些时候，美国国会允许某些治理权力由本地民选官员行使。但是国会保留推翻当地法律的权力，并对这座城市拥有比美国任何一个州更大的监督权。此外，该地区民选政府的存在是国会所乐意的，虽然在理论上可以随时被国会撤销。一个单独但相关的争议是该地区在国会中。这座城市的独特地位造成了一种情况，即华盛顿居民既不能完全控制当地政府，也不能在完全控制其的机构中拥有投票代表。 2015年，哥伦比亚特区成为无代表国家和民族组织的成员。 (zh)
