The Council is composed of a Chairman,
a Vice Chairman, and seven other members,
all of whom are appointed by the President
of the United States, by and with the advice
and consent of the Senate. At the time of
his appointment each member of the Council
must be a citizen of the United States, and
an actual resident of the District of Columbia
for three years preceding his appointment.
The Council is nonpartisan and no more than
six of its members can be adherents of any
one political party. Appointments to the
Council are made with a view toward
achieving a Council membership which is
broadly representative of the District of
Columbia community.
