That will require a much more complicated process, if I am not mistaken.

Relevant part of Constitution, District Clause of Section 8 of the Constitution.

[The Congress shall have Power] To exercise exclusive legislation in all cases whatsoever, over such District (not exceeding ten miles square) as may, by cession of particular states, and the acceptance of Congress, become the seat of the government of the United States.

Essentially, Congress will have to be stripped of its power over the tiny landmass, and would be left in charge only of the Federal Buildings.

Of course, my Dad is yelling that Puerto Rico doesn’t deserve it because San Juan has the highest crime rate compared to Mainland cities, and the highest drug use. I know both of these are false, but I simply don’t care about educating him. He’s a old school bigot, I have even heard him telling Pollack Jokes, and saying Italians shouldn’t be here. Screw him.
