Yes, the congress should more accurately represent the gender/ethnic breakdown of the United States of America because there is no logical reason why it should not.

<h3>How many females are currently in the Congress of the United States of America?</h3>

Since about October 4, 2022, there are 123 women in the United States House of Representatives (excluding four female non-voting delegates), representing 27.9% of the total.

Since Representative Jeannette Rankin of Montana became the first female member of Congress in 1917, a total of 400 women have worked as U.S. Representatives, Delegate, Resident Commissioners, or Senators.

The Constitution calls for equal representation in the United States House of Representatives, with members allocated based on state population as determined by the legally required Census.
