“It’s time to restore Washington DC to be under Federal control as originally intended. “


Ah, but that would require a vote in Congress, wouldn’t it?

“Ah, but that would require a vote in Congress, wouldn’t it?“

Congress is supposed to legislate for DC “in all cases whatsoever”.

This phrase had a specific meaning to the authors of the Constitution and it is unambiguous. So no, dissolving DC government should not require a vote in Congress, it simply needs the USSC to enforce the Constitution as written.
