I love this idea. Move the capitol the same week you disband about 90% of the federal agencies. Leave troops at the capital to protect monuments, but take the business of congress somewhere else, maybe rotate every couple of years to prevent entrenched lobbyists. Enact term limits, then I think we could actually begin cleaning up this mess.

Sounds good to me...especially disbanding the agencies!

George Washington’s first capital was NYC, where they are now tearing down his statue. In 1790, Congress specified that the Capital should be on the Potomac...so the current DC could be the official but symbolic capital and people could, in a sense, work offsite. That is, they could be distributed, with the President perhaps living in his state and other agencies being placed in relevant sites. I think Trump tried to do this (I think he was going to relocate the BLM or some other similar agency to a ranching and farming state) but I’m not sure what happened.

I’m not joking, I think it would be a great idea, and since most of the Congress critters and others have been working remotely or not working at all, they don’t really need to be able to sit in one place, stew In their own ugly juices and plot.
