Non-voting members of the United States House of Representatives
Non-voting members of the United States House of Representatives include non-voting delegates and resident commissioners. They are non-voting members who are elected from a U.S. territory or from Washington, D.C., to a two-year term. While unable to vote in the full House, a non-voting member may vote in a House committee of which the delegate is a member. Historically, representatives were sent from territories before they became full states.〔 A member was sent from the Philippines until the country gained independence in 1946. Since 1993, the rules governing the rights of non-voting member have changed three times and currently representatives enjoy extra rights that they historically did not have.〔 The lack of voting rights of non-voting member has been the source of controversy, most notably in Washington D.C., where the current license plate bears the text "Taxation without Representation".
==Privileges of delegates==
Non voting members serve exclusively in the House of Representatives—the Senate does not include any counterpart official from U.S. areas that do not possess state status. All delegates serve a term of two years while resident commissioners serve a term of four years.〔(【引用サイトリンク】publisher=Office of the Clerk of the US House of Representatives )〕 They receive compensation, benefits, and franking privileges (the ability to send outgoing U.S. Mail without a stamp) similar to full House members.
