- The Congressional Apportionment Amendment could expand the House to 6,641 members, reducing gerrymandering and donor influence.
- The amendment has a typo that could lead to a legal battle between textualism and originalism.
- Ratifying the amendment requires 27 more states, offering bipartisan benefits for Democrats, Republicans, and third parties.
