It's been expanded several times in the past, but it hasn't been expanded since 1911. https://en.wikipedia.org/...
The country has grown a lot. In 1911 after the last expansion, it was about 200k people per representative. We're now close to 750k per representative. https://www.pewresearch.org/...
I think expanding the size of congress makes sense for a lot of reasons.
