You can’t Constitutionally subdivide states. D.C.’s land came from Maryland and Virginia?

Originally, but the Virginia portion was "retroceded" (returned to Virginia) in 1846.

The Virginia portion was returned to Virginia more than a century ago. DC, as it currently exists, all came from Maryland.

You might want to talk to West Virginia about that.
