In a effort in Washington, DC, President Donald Trump’s renowned employee in the government efficiency department. Trump threatened the country’s capital federal capture of the country after strictly beaten.
Trump shared an image on August August August’s truth social on the truth of a blood, which is known as the “big ball” by his online alias.
Trump wrote, “DC did not get his work together and quickly, we have no choice but to take the city’s federal control, and we have no choice but to operate the city and keep the criminals in mind that they will no longer be away from it,” Trump wrote. “It may have been done a long time ago, if this incredible youth and many others would not have had to go through the horrific incidents of violent crime.
Trump repeated the idea on August 6 to reporters and said that citing the attack on Korestin, was overtaking the city’s household rules.
Statistics have shown that in recent years, the district has a significant problem of crime, but crimes such as massacre, gun-related and severe assault, carsing, vehicle theft, robbery and sexual abuse have declined from the peak of COVID-1-A district.
But there is a big question left: Can Trump take the federal capture of Colombia district?
Experts say that this is possible, but this is not easy – he has to agree to the Congress.
What is DC’s ‘Home Rule’?
The Constitution of the United States created the Colombia District District as a 10-Khoras Miles of the Federal Government.
Since the district is not a state, the residents have no representation of the entire Congress; It has a hall representative who cannot vote on the floor and no senators.
The city was run by three presidential appointed commissioners till around 33 until3. That year, President Richard Nixon signed the Home Rules Act and enabled the district residents to select the mayor and city council.
The Home Rules Act has approved the district’s significant autonomy for local affairs, but the city responds to some specific aspects, including budgetary observation and the ability to repeal local laws.
“For the DC history, and for really DC history, Congress members have intervened in the city case with all the long pools to ban the use of their own tax money for a needle exchange program in the city,” said George Derek Masgrow, a historian of the Maryland-Baltimor County.
What is DC Federall?
Trump did not explain how the federalization will work.
Given the obvious language of the Constitution, legal scholars agreed that Trump could not easily occupy the district and remove his home rules. He will have to work with the Congress by the organization under the supervision of the capital.
“Congress can use this right, use it or entrust it,” said Musgrov. “With the Home Rule Act of 197 of the3, a good right of that authority – no matter all – to the local government.
A large number of Congress Republicans have supported the agenda of Trump’s agenda by near-unity, but cancellation of home rules is not a definite thing.
The Republican people are narrowly controlled and the Trump must win the road in the hall where the majority can implement their desires. But in the final idea, it is also necessary to clean the Senate, taking 60 votes with at least seven democratic votes. Democrats usually support home rules for the district.
In February, Senate member Mike Lee and representative Andrew Ogles submitted laws to cancel the home rules. But these measures are only three Senate co-sponsor and three hall co-sponsor.
“According to the Constitution, Congress does the law for the district,” said Michael Gerarhat, a professor at North Carolina University. If Trump wants to be a federal, DC wants to be a federal to “erase democratic leadership and just replace people who are loyal to them,” Frameers kills me precisely “.
Lack of law, the President has other ways to influence the district, which has the right to combine the DC National Guard without local consent. He is likely to add to the language given to journalists on August 6.
The Home Rules Act allowed the President to temporarily control the city’s police department in case of emergency – Trump threatened this in 2 during protest across the country. George Floid??
What did Trump say about this over time?
Trump has widely discussed from the 2024 campaign to expand the rights of the federal government over the district, including enhanced observation and direct management.
During the March 223’s conservative political action conference, Trump talked about driving from the district, expressed mourning the dirty roads. Trump said, “Someone recently took their trash and thrown it on all the highways, beltway. It is so abusive, so disgusting,” Trump said. “… In fact, the federal government should take control and management of Washington DC.”
During the July 224’s Florida campaign rally, Trump said, “Washington, DC, promised to occupy the terrible capital of his country and clean it, renewed it and rebuild our capital city so that it will no longer have a horrible dream of murder and crime.”
Trump focused on blight and crime again in February: “I think the federal government should take over the DC and actually run properly.”
In March, Trump signed the executive order of establishing a “DC Saf and Beautiful Task Force”. It orders beautification efforts such as the removal of graphies and the maintenance of parks, and it includes the provisions to look into the issues related to violent crime and homeless.
At a July Cabinet meeting, Trump repeated the idea: “We have a huge power to run wherever we need in the White House. We can run DC. That is, we are looking at DC. We don’t want crimes in DC. We want to run the city better.”
Home rules have been canceled before?
There is an example of removing home-nation power, but not recently.
In 77474 in, local conservatives who were angry with local black and workers-class white residents of the country have united some of their northern friends to withdraw the democratic laws of the southern rebuilding-year-old re-emergence.
After centuries, Nixon signed the Home Rule Bill.
The cancellation of home rules will not be popular among the Washington people. In 2024, Trump won less than 6.5 percent of the district.
Although no city is perfect, the district has built the government working under the Home Rules, Mussagrov said.
“There is no question that people will be crazy,” said Musgrov.
