They will have to amend the Constitution to do it. A DC Statehood Amendment was reported out of Congress to the states for ratification in 1972, but it expired in 1979 with very few ratifications.

Any state that host the seat of Federal government would have an enormous advantage over the other states. This will never be allowed. It is the primary reason why the founders created the District of Columbia. It serves no other purpose.

Eleanor Holmes wants a “state” instead of a district so that she won’t have as much trouble parking and hitting others’ cars.
