Two quick questions.

1. What will be the capitol of this new state?

2. “New States may be admitted by the Congress into this Union; but no new State shall be formed or erected within the Jurisdiction of any other State; nor any State be formed by the Junction of two or more States, or Parts of States, without the Consent of the Legislatures of the States concerned as well as of the Congress.” -Article IV sec.III

After Washington D.C is dis-incorporated, the land not designated Federal would be given back to Maryland and Virginia. Would not their legislatures have to vote to give up that land? Or do we not follow the most basic laws of the land?

Sorry three questions.

It would go to Maryland. the VA portion was already given back a long while ago.
