It would be gratifying to see the Committee say...
"We regret that Congress hasn't been following the Constitution with regards to the District of Columbia. We have been reminded that Congress is supposed to exercise '...exclusive Legislation in all Cases whatsoever...' within the district pursuant to Article 1, Section 8.
Therefore, we are proposing a Bill to void all District laws, and all City Ordinances, and return that exclusive legislative authority to Congress, adopt the criminal code and traffic laws from the State of Maryland, and set up a Committee to review and promulgate appropriate legislation as mandated by the Constitution, thereby fulfilling this one, at least, of our responsibilities" |

TO REMEMBER |
| Those, who have the command of the arms in a country are masters of the state, and have it in their power to make what revolutions they please. [Thus,] there is no end to observations on the difference between the measures likely to be pursued by a minister backed by a standing army, and those of a court awed by the fear of an armed people. — Aristotle, as quoted by John Trenchard and Water Moyle, An Argument Shewing, That a Standing Army Is Inconsistent with a Free Government, and Absolutely Destructive to the Constitution of the English Monarchy [London, 1697]. |
