Ridin' with Biden

Does The Construction set a minimum size of a state?

 

The new state surrounding DC would have a higher population than Wyoming.

 

Why cant it?

 

You might see large states donating 10 square miles to make a new state
Just to get more senators to offset the new DC Senators
Even a private owner of land could start a process for a new state with 10 square miles
This is what happens when things are done for politics....

 

Correct.

 

Congress has the authority to redefine the borders of the federal district.It did so in 1846.

 

Dems states can do the same.

 

But not land mass. And it is obviously a political ploy to seize more power. If it was just about representation, you would be in favor of incorporating the areas back into Maryland.

 

Indeed.DC would stay DC with Congress redefining its borders as it did in 1846 and a new state would be made around it.

 

As I indicated, land was ceded back to Virginia.
