More BS. That does NOT include the Federal District of Columbia. The District is defined in the Constitution. To remove that definition requires a Constitutional Amendment.

'As a constitutional matter, however, the Justice Department under both Democratic and Republican administrations has consistently agreed that statehood for the District requires a constitutional amendment; it cannot be done by mere majority vote in Congress.' ...heritage.org

And Congress can easily redefine the Capitol District as the White House an Capitol building only and make a state out of what's left.
