Urges Congress to repeal the Residence Act of 1790 and designate Missouri as the nation's capitol

Summary

The resolution asks the United States Congress to cancel the Residence Act of 1790, which set Washington, D.C., as the capital, and to designate Missouri—identified as the nation’s population center—as the new capital. It is a symbolic appeal that would affect all citizens by proposing a more centrally located seat of government, but it contains no funding or enforcement provisions. The measure reflects a desire for geographic equity in the location of the nation’s capital.
