1: According to the constitution, the areas of the federal government that are under federal control shall remain there..
2: Let it's name change from the District of Columbia to the State of Columbia.
3: The numbers of the House of Representatives should be increased to provide representation. It is long past time for the numbers of the House to be increased. This is NOT 1913.
