I understand that “exercise exclusive Legislation” is in reference to DC but does the phrase “exercise exclusive Legislation” legally interchange with “own”?
I own my land, but I don’t know if I could say that I “exercise exclusive Legislation” in all matters concerning my land.
not sure if exclusive legislation translates to ownership in the common sense of the term. But, for all intents and purposes, it’s the same thing when we’re talking about a city ceded expressly for the purpose of a seat of federal governance.
