President George Washington chose the exact site along the Potomac and Anacostia Rivers, and the city was officially founded in 1790 after both Maryland and Virginia ceded land to this new district, to be distinct and distinguished from the rest of the states. Not only is the current DC not the "exact site" as defined by Washington (Virginia was given its portion back in 1846) but "DC statehood" doesn't eliminate the federal district - it typically redefines it to the area around the Mall containing the WH and Capitol. The rest - where the people actually live - would become the 51st state. So there would still be a federal district it would just be redefined so that its existence doesn't leave 700,000 American citizens without voting representation in Congress. We've redefined the area of DC before! --- xp1337: Don't you wish there was a spell-checker that told you when you a word out? <cite>xp1337 posted [p:941310001] in Politics C...
