The area which is now Arlington County, VA, was given back to Virginia in 1846.
I would guess that the eastern part of Alexandria (which includes the older neighborhoods) was also part of the District of Columbia until 1846.

What a pig! It says a lot about Tlaibs and Omars constituents that these two women were elected.

They’d have to rescind that via amendment as well right?
I’m not a Constitutional scholar by any means, though I did teach the Constitution to Jr High students going through it line by line for over 20 years, so I do have an idea of what’s in there. I believe to grant statehood to the District would require a lot of changes to the Constitution, which the pro statehood people either seem to ignore or brush off as no big deal.
The Founders did not want the Federal government to be under the control of a state government which at some point might be hostile to it. Imagine if the capital was located in, say NYC, Chicago or San Francisco right now. For a bunch of old white guys who lived 200 years ago, the Founders were pretty smart.

Thanks. Take it easy on the forehead, we don't want to go to concussion protocol.
Got a chuckle out of it though.

Virginia precedent says that D.C. should be reduced to one square mile instead of 100 square miles. Virginia has already altered the 100 square miles by absorbing that part of D.C. that is in Virginia.
Maryland should do the same and take over political jurisdiction of most of D.C. Maryland would gain delegates for the House of Representatives.
The District of Columbia was never intended to be an independent State!

Do you really think that this member of the Stupid Lying Ugly Tramp Squad and KNOWN Criminal, Illegal Alien Terrorist Lover/Supporter cares about what we care about. Because, if you do, you are badly mistaken. She (Along with the others) are Muslim Terrorist supporters and want to totally destroy our Constitutional Republic and replace it with their sick, perverted, demented Sharia Law B>S!!!!!!

Maybe Im mistaken but a 10 mile square would be 100 square miles so DC is actually smaller than originally designed. Isnt it?
Yes, it was originally 100 square miles. The VA part of DC was returned to VA in 1847, due to several factors.
