Some have suggested the only way DC can become a state is through Constitutional amendment. But the Democratic party disagrees with that.

What’s wrong with DC being absorbed into VA or MD?

If anything, give that piece of crap back to Maryland, my state of residence.

I don’t recall any other state that became one via constitutional amendment. Maybe there’s something in the Constitution specifically about DC of which I’m not aware.

The Capitol cannot be within a state.

Move it to Johnston Atoll.

DC is not a state for a reason - it should never have interests independent of and in opposition to that of any State.

Big problems with that. I’ll have to review for myself whether such a move would even be constitutional (not that the Left gives a sh#t about that). Certainly not good for our country.

But EVERYTHING the Delusional Lying Leftist Dems do is bad for us and our country. They are a virulent disease and blight on our country.

How was DC created?

If by the Constitution then only an amendment can change it's status.

Make DC a state? I'd rather they made it something really useful, like a parking lot.

what do you do about Amendment 23

Section 1. The District constituting the seat of Government of the United States shall appoint in such manner as the Congress may direct:

A number of electors of President and Vice President equal to the whole number of Senators and Representatives in Congress to which the District would be entitled if it were a State, but in no event more than the least populous State; they shall be in addition to those appointed by the States, but they shall be considered, for the purposes of the election of President and Vice President, to be electors appointed by a State; and they shall meet in the District and perform such duties as provided by the twelfth article of amendment.

Section 2. The Congress shall have the power to enforce this article by appropriate legislation.[2]

The Republican party agreed with the Democrats that natural born citizens can be just American on their mother’s side.

Winston Churchill wouldn’t have needed his “honorary” citizenship.

They want representation?
Return all the inhabited part of DC back to Maryland.
Keep the Federal mall area as DC.
Problem solved.
No need for a new “State”.

"a majority of the Democrats running for president say they support making DC a state."

If demRATs want it than it is strictly for their benefit.

Hi.

“Some have suggested the only way DC can become a state is through Constitutional amendment.”

Not a suggestion, but fact.

I say give the entire district to Maryland and be done with it.

The Constitution prohibits in making a state of D C. by charting it as a Federal city without representation in Congress.

The democrats think they can remove the electoral college by ignoring the Constitution.

Yep, get rid of the electoral college and give a few thousand people two senators in Congress.

The Democrats disagree with the Constitution. With a loaf of bread under each arm.
