If they don’t need to be in the office, they don’t need to be in D.C. either. Give most of D.C. back to Maryland, except for the small perimeter containing the Capitol, White House, and Supreme Court. Allow no one to live in the capitol zone. Zone it for exclusive use for the normal work of Congress, the Executive, and The DC Circuit and Supreme Court. Anyone working there must commute in, and then leave at the end of the day to their normal home.
Oh, and Congress Critters have to live in a dorm just outside of the perimeter. And make them wear orange uniforms and dunce caps. :)
Good point about DC. That was the original intent I believe.
