What stops them from including others? It was the congress that put the city incorporation in for commercial reasons it had to do with contracts they had to do it to be able to make contracts. They can't turn it into a state it still part of the land given for the set of gov. If they do anything else, they will not be the set of gov of all the other states. If they want the set of gov moved, the go right ahead, also they will have to be given back to Maryland and Virginia, those are the two states it was made up of. Next maybe made up of some place in a desert. Then there would be a new gov and new people put in for the New Gov. It will not have a city, maybe a building that is incorporated for that purpose. Part of the reason they do this, congress has lost every bit of power it once had. We can just get the states to relocate the gov. I maybe a good thing. The stink coming from there is back enough. Sorry I got a headache These are the times that tries men's and women's souls! May we come though it victorious! |

This. It would need to be a Constitutional Amendment, not a bill, for the District of Criminals to become a state. But since when do criminals follow the law (Constitution?) |
