uh, no. half to Md. and half to Va. no 2 senators guys, sorry.
DC should be expanded to encompass its suburbs.
But, under no circumstances, should it become a state!
“uh, no. half to Md. and half to Va. no 2 senators guys, sorry.”
It’s absolutely ludicrous for the population of a medium size city, less than the average congressional district, to demand statehood and 2 Senators. Your suggestion is the only option if they really want representation, and hopefully loss of many of the perks that go with being the capital - simply make them part of the states from which they were originally withdrawn.
DC reverts to MD and VA state land. The capitol must reside on non-state land.
