The issue has been triggered by Trump, who re-invoked unpopular demands for D.C. statehood. Democrats argue that American citizens lack the protections of statehood, and that Washington needs to return to Maryland through &#8220;retrocession.&#8221; This would give every Washington resident full representation, including a governor, two real U.S. senators, a voting representative in the House, and a state legislature. However, most Americans still oppose statehood for Washington, a Vatican-like city-state. Democrats are not keen on attempting a new constitutional amendment to change the status of the city, as they would rather bewail the lack of direct representation while trying to achieve effective statehood without a direct vote of citizens on a constitutional amendment. Statehood remains easily attainable for Washington, if Democrats would only stop opposing retrocession.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Solar Comedones Extraction and Couperouse Skin\/ Motorcycle Man\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/PNsqk85ZVCs?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The deployment of the National Guard in Washington, D.C. has caused a media and political meltdown, with Democrats arguing for the restoration of full representation for residents.
