It would be nice if the US allocated some house seats to expats like many European counties.

  If you're an expatriate (i.e. you've given up your citizenship), why do you need voting representation? I don't see the logic here.

    no taxation without representation! also, he's not saying that ppl who give up their citizenship should have fair voting representation. it's the people who are still americans who just happen to live overseas. we are still paying US taxes and therefore should have proper representation. if i didnt have to pay US taxes, i wouldn't care.

    While the term is loaded with baggage (vs. immigrate, for example) it doesn't make a claim with respect to citizenship gained or lost, especially in this context.
