	Delegate (United States Congress) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		A Delegate to Congress is a non-voting member of the United States House of Representatives who is elected from a U.S. territory or from the District of Columbia.
		The District of Columbia, otherwise known as Washington, D.C., the capital city of the United States, is technically a federal district—not a territory, commonwealth or insular area—but, for purposes of representatation in the House, is nevertheless entitled to a non-voting Delegate.
		In 1993, the 103rd Congress approved a rule change that allowed the four Delegates and the Resident Commissioner to vote on the floor of the House, but only in the Committee of the Whole.

	United States Government - MSN Encarta
		In the United States the one basic principle is representative democracy, which defines a system in which the people govern themselves by electing their own leaders.
		To implement its essential democratic ideals, the United States has built its government on four elements: (1) popular sovereignty, meaning that the people are the ultimate source of the government’s authority; (2) representative government; (3) checks and balances; and (4) federalism, an arrangement where powers are shared by different levels of government.
		The Constitution of the United States is the basis for the machinery and institutions of the U.S. government.

		As an "AEA", these athletes are eligible to represent fellow athletes as a delegate to the first USBC Convention slated for April 19-22 in Orlando, Fla. As an "AEA", they have the same voting privileges as an association delegate and will be voting at the Annual Meeting on key issues facing our sport.
		Athletes serving as delegates is a new governance concept, one which most potential athlete delegates will be entirely unfamiliar with.
		Since there is no financial assistance for athlete delegates to attend the meeting, this process will provide the best opportunity to achieve the 20% athlete representation at the delegate’s meeting in accordance with the USOC guidelines.
