Home Rule or House Rule? by Michael K Fauntroy is an American Government Political Books title, sku-878791669. Article I, Section 8, Clause 17 of the U.S. Constitution gives Congress complete authority over the District of Columbia. The book argues that this leaves District residents without the same measure of democracy as residents of the states, despite attempts to remedy the disparity.

Its political analysis of Congress and Washington, D.C.'s local government covers the influence of suburban members of Congress, the fiscal crisis of the 1980s and 1990s, government inefficiency and the Control Board.
