Redbear is right and that’s exactly what statehood would do. It would shrink the Capital to include all Federal Buildings the Monuments, the White House and the Capitol Building(as you note there is no minimum size for the capital in the Constitution)The new state would include only the areas in which the 600,000 loyal tax paying, military serving residents of DC live. Congress would remain in complete control of the Capital and the people of DC would be represented in both houses of Congress the way Thomas Jefferson promised.
