Congress can redefine the DistrictBINGO! That is what I said. DC is a FEDERAL City. It can't have Statehood without a constitutional Ammendment.FineSo? Solution. They pay no income TAX. No way the dirty ,filthy Democrats get 2 more Senators for a black bureaucrat City.Our nation was founded on a Revolution based on opposition to ”Taxation without Representation”
Yet Washington DC pays more Federal Tax than 22 other states.
In spite of heavy Federal Taxes, they cannot vote for the Senators or Congressmen who levy those taxes.
The answer is
1. Make DC a State (carve out the federal buildings)
2. Allow them to have their own member of the House and vote for Senators in Maryland who will represent them.
Exempt DC residents from Federal Tax instead of Congressional representation
They have done it before
