Most of our nation's founders intended for the House of Representatives to increase as our population increased.  James Madison even proposed a constitutional amendment to guarantee the House increase along with the population (it failed).  For over 100 years the House did increase in size.  However, it has been at 435 since 1910.  In 1910 the U.S. Population was less than a third the size it is today.  The culprit is the "Permanent Apportionment Act of 1929" which set the size of the House permanently at 435.  The House should repeal this law and create a plan for both increasing its size now and for increases after each census.  Larger states are grossly under-represented in both house membership and in electoral votes in Presidential elections.  But people in all states are being short-changed when a Congressional Representative is expected to represent around 700,000 constituents.  Small states could benefit too, especially if they currently only have one Representative.  More Congressional districts would mean smaller districts, which may mean less gerrymandering and a greater variety of political ideas and thought.  Increasing the size of the House has been due for 100 years.  Let us not wait any longer.
