Hmm, it is still under the veto power of Congress though. I guess that’s why Nancy had authority over the Capitol Police. It is under the George Washington coat of arms… I never knew that is what the DC flag was representing.

Congress can't veto anything, only a president can veto prospective laws that hit the WH desk. Congress can over-ride a pres veto.

What is it you want congress to veto? The Corporation of D.C.?

While DC has 'home rule’, Congress has ultimate authority… as it has ultimate authority over all territories. It’s not often exercised, but I am reading that Congress can vote to override a DC decision.

Do not hold your breath waiting for that to happen. It is the same people that operate both.

I guess it depends on how different the ideology and goals are.
