So in OP's imagination, moving the seat of American government is easier than the ability for lobbyist's offices to relocate to a different city?

Before the discussion moves any further, it's important to get the nomenclature correct:
capitAl (city) = municipality that is the seat of government
capitOl (building) = a building in which a legislative body meets
You are correct. Thanks, mom.

Vegas. Think of the scandals.
Move it to CO so they can actually get along better.

Just think of all of the jobs that this would create. We better keep some of those Mexicans for all the construction work. Do they make trailers long enough for the Washington Monument?

Birmingham. Just to hear the rest of the SEC bitch.

It is cute you still think this will happen. Like a child who still believes in Santa.

This is a YUGE problem, and more will need to be done to address this, as well. It will be easier to address it without the beneficiaries of the lobbyist's largess being the ones interpreting and enforcing the laws (i.e. new bureaucracy).

When it comes to grammar and spelling I'm not mom, I'm your worst nightmare teacher from Catholic school.

No. New bureaucracy, new rules. Limit the time that someone can be a government employee.

I've always felt the capital should be in our nation's most valuable state. Not totally sure which city though, probably LA or San Diego

Sounds like a gigantic waste of money
