Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Historic Washington: The House in Which President Lincoln Died, No; 516 Tenth Street N. W The Constitution of the United States provides that Congress may exercise exclusive jurisdiction "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." Virginia and Maryland offered to cede such District, and Congress, by act passed in 1790, accepted "it for the permanent seat of Government." The same act also provided for the appointment, by the President, of three commissioners, who, under his direction, should survey and locate the territory, and "provide suitable buildings for the accommodation of Congress and of the President, and for the public offices of the Government of the United States."
