DC needs to be incorporated back to Virginia and Maryland.


Nice idea, but it would require a Constitutional Amendment. Even shrinking the District to just a couple of square miles of government buildings wouldn’t work because of the Twenty-third Amendment.

The original idea was to prevent the Federal government from being at the mercy of a hostile state government. Right now, both MD and VA governments could be considered hostile.

Any way Virginia already got it portion back. That’s Arlington County, its Maryland’s turn!
