I am not exactly bleeding-heart, but on the subject of treaties…
Various tribes were granted non-voting delegates in Congress. I’ve tried over the years in my casual research to identify all of them, but suffice it to say that the number must be in the high single digits. The easy example is the Cherokee Nation, but there are others.
Why have they not been seated? Even if I did not care about this for their own sake, if our country makes such a promise we need to keep it. Just so that we can say we keep promises.
Now, it’s also my understanding that such delegate, while being ineligible to vote in general sessions, would also be given seats on committees, with all the privileges that come with that. So they’d have some (significant) influence.
