Weird that you are confidently posting about this when you are wrong about the facts:

https://wtop.com/dc/2022/03/dc-envisions-new-sportsplex-at-rfk-stadium-site-with-or-without-nfl-football/

[i]Under the terms of the lease D.C. has with the federal government, which runs until 2036, the land can be used for sports and recreational purposes. A new NFL stadium would fit the bill.[/i]

Now you are correct that this can be legislatively fixed but there is in fact a binding lease on the property.[/quote]

This doesn't mean shlt if the DC Council and a Dem controlled Congress void it.[/quote]

They tried awhile back but Obama administration declined until Skins name change which happened too late for that administration. There was another bill submitted that went to House Committee about the deteriorating state of RFK and some seemed to support the idea of selling the land back to DC (this was during Trump admin I think). After that, Holmes did submit a bill for DC to buy back the land but that bill was largely ignored or never went anywhere.

Should note, RFK land is a flood plane. Not sure what can realistically be built there.
