The Congress shall have power...To exercise exclusive legislation in all cases whatsoever, over such District (not exceeding ten miles square) as may, by cession of particular states, and the acceptance of Congress, become the seat of the government of the United States.
It's Congress that needs to "get it", not the pretend City Council.

Very interesting in that the language here doesn’t mention whether the POTUS can veto such legislation.
Maybe he does have that power, but on the other hand, maybe this provision is a special case where POTUS vetoes would not apply.
