Given your short amount of time, I'd do the following in this exact order:

Saturday:

Changing of the guard ceremony at Arlington.

Sit at the Lincoln Memorial for 30 minutes and just take in the amount of people and diversity that passes thru there. Hit the Vietnam Memorial on your way out.

See Old Glory at the American History museum or the Declaration of Independence at the National Archives.

Go to the walk-up line at the Capital and take a tour.

Catch a show at the DC Improv that night.

Sunday:

Go to Mass at a cathedral of your choice. Rent a bike and cover some ground. Sight see and just take it all in.

You don't have a lot of time - you need to stick and move.

In DC I am a big fan of the Old Town Trolley routes. Get on early in the A.M. ride all day getting on and off at will, see almost every area of DC/Georgetown at your pace. They run about every 20 minutes and you will see a ton of sights. Be sure after grabbing a bite for dinner to do the Monuments at Night tour. They are spectacular at night, a complete different perspective.

Yes, the National Basilica of the Immaculate Conception on the campus of Catholic University is exquisite.
