What I'd Do About the DC Statehood Chatter

 1.  Individually, state by state....they ought to pass a 3-line legislation piece that says non-federal territory of DC should be returned by the conclusion of 4th of July 2022 to Maryland.  Federal territory will remain the responsibility of the US federal government.

2.  I'd take the non-federal region and split it into three cities: Georgetown (the far west), Columbia City (from Georgetown corner to the river), and Anacostia (everything east of the river).  I'd thank the city council and mayor for their effort, but admit that their failures led to the breakup.

3.  I'd make a federal law that no one except the President and Vice-President may live on federal grounds of the remaining federal district.  

4.  I'd create a two-star general position to be the 'guardian' of the federal district remaining.  You get the job for three years and then move on.
