The Constitution: The Twenty third Amendment

Section 1. The District constituting the seat of Government of the United States shall appoint in such manner as the Congress may direct:
A number of electors of President and Vice President equal to the whole number of Senators and Representatives in Congress to which the District would be entitled if it were a State, but in no event more than the least populous State; they shall be in addition to those appointed by the States, but they shall be considered, for the purposes of the election of President and Vice President, to be electors appointed by a State; and they shall meet in the District and perform such duties as provided by the twelfth article of amendment.
Section 2. The Congress shall have power to enforce this article by appropriate legislation.

This is the first Amendment created after I was born and it is the first one that sounds like double talk.    I am surprised the people of DC waited until 1960 for representation in the presidential elections.  The old taxation with out representation thing may apply here.  It is only for the president and vice president.  It does not feel like something the founding fathers would write.  The style is wrong, the flow of the verbage is weak.  I loved the pen in hand of the Jeffersons and the Adams family. 

I cannot help that this amendment came out of the Civil Rights movement.   Everyone was all on edge about rights and representation and having a voice.
