Citing conclusions reached by past administrations, Manchin said the proper way to decide D.C's future is through an amendment to the Constitution and not simply by passing a law that would be challenged in the Supreme Court.
- The District of Columbia is the 64,000-acre district which is the seat of the government of the United States under the Constitution.
- The District of Columbia cannot cede its land back to Virginia or Maryland without a constitutional amendment.
- The District of Columbia is not a state and cannot become a state in its own right without a constitutional amendment.
The District of Columbia cannot be a state in its own right under the U.S. Constititon because no laws except those passed by the U.S. Congress alone have any jurisdiction or authority over the district of the seat of the government of the United States.
To tell us otherwise in any official capacity is to commit TREASON by levying War against the United States, adhering to our Enemies, and giving them Aid and Comfort.
