If DC becomes a state should the government move?

That area is no longer vitally central to the Republic. In fact Florida's a much better choice overall and much more economically centered.

Move it all to Orlando.

Dc becoming a state defeats the entire purpose of having one area as the seat of government

Is the plan to have a “state” before the election?

Exactly, if you flush all the snakes out of the dens it's much easier to kill them.

I kind of like that DC isn’t a state. Besides, adding one more star will totally mess up the pattern and force me to buy a new flag.

What is the process for DC to become a State?
Is it strictly legislative, or do the other states get to vote?

Pardon my ignorance, I went to Thibodaux High.

Pretty sure making dc a stare isn’t constitutional

I think it might require 2/3 vote in the Senate.

It will eventually require a constitutional ammendment which has pretty much no chance of passing

It's an unwashed stronghold of minority based ignorance. They get to add congeressmen and senators who will never go conservative.

Why is this shite even discussed?

It wont happen....it requires an amendment. If a simple majority was all that was required we'd be changing states every few years as one side tries to game the system. It would be chaos.

public education has failed us.

Move it to Fargo, North Dakota and make winter sessions mandatory. I bet those motherfrickers would be motivated to get shite done then.
