CONSTITUTION 101
1) D.C. CANNOT EVER BE MADE A STATE
The reason D.C. is not a state is that it would allow the state of D.C. to leverage the federal government itself.
2) D.C. CANNOT EVER BE ALLOWED SELF-RULE
D.C. has to be run directly by the President for the same reason as above. The mayor should be a member of the cabinet at best, but always directly subordinate to the U.S. Executive Branch.
3) D.C. CANNOT EVER HAVE CONGRESSIONAL REPRESENTATION
D.C. cannot be allowed congressional representation or else it would allow the federal government to perpetuate itself against its masters, the states.
IF YOU DON'T LIKE THIS, DON'T LIVE IN D.C.
TOUGH SHIT.
