[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Most people don’t think a constitutional amendment is required for DC to become a state— the feds would still get the Capitol and Mall area but the District, where a population larger than Wyoming’s lives and works, would be admitted as a state. [/quote] Where on earth did you get that idea?[/quote] It would take a constitutional amendment to give the District of Columbia House and Senate seats. But, it would not take a constitutional amendment to carve out a new state out of everything except the National Mall and adjacent areas. In particular, it didn't take a constitutional amendment to give a portion of DC back to Virginia, nor did it take constitutional amendments to add states. The constitution does not set a specific size or location for DC.[/quote]
