Congress may change or overturn DC laws, or even impose new laws on districts.
“The corruption, crime and incompetence of the DC government has been embarrassing for decades towards our nation’s capital. Congress has made George Washington’s honor and integrity a beautiful city that bears his name.

“D.C. Mayor Bowser’s radically progressive administration has left our country’s capital a crime-filled hellish. Washington is now home to murder, rape, drug overdose, violence, theft and homelessness. Known for Bowser and her corrupt Washington City Council, they are unable to control the city, so it appears appropriate for the council to regain constitutional authority and restore the country’s capital. Not only the US federal government, but also geopoliticians around the world can’t continue to be cesspools of Democrats’ failed policies,” Ogles told callers before introducing the bill in the House.
“That’s why it brought Washington and safety oversight to all residents (Bowser) Act that repeals the DC Home Rules Act. Thank you Senator Lee for his willingness to lead this important legislation in the Senate. I’m doing that,” he added.
