the district of columbia residents who support the statehood movement sometimes use the slogan "taxation without representation" to denote their lack of congressional representation. the phrase is a shortened version of the revolutionary war protest motto "no taxation without representation" omitting the initial "no", and is now printed on newly issued district of columbia license plates (although a driver may choose to have the district of columbia website address instead). president bill clinton's presidential limousine had the "taxation without representation" license plate late in his term, while president george w. bush had the vehicle's plates changed shortly after beginning his term in office. president barack obama had the license plates changed back to the protest style shortly before his second-term inauguration. president donald trump continued to use the plates as of his inauguration, though he stated he had "no position" regarding statehood or representation for the district.
