House passes bill to make Washington DC the 51st state

* The House passes a bill to make Washington, D.C., the 51st U.S. state. 
* Republicans oppose the legislation and are unlikely to pass it in the Senate. 
* Washington, D.C., which has long decried having to pay taxes without voting representation in Congress, would get one representative and two senators.
