The states are united. Washington DC is not a state and is therefore not united.
It doesn't have to be a state to be a US territory ,which is what it is. Thus, it is not foreign soil.
Actually it is it is considered a city state just like the Vatican and just like the city of London
Considered by whom?
I think legally, it's considered a Federal District. Even though I live 1/2 mile from the DC border, and work in DC itself, it's been a long time since I've been in a Civics class.
And quite frankly, I could not care less if it's legally a territory or District or whatever. I do know that it's not foreign soil. And the only reason I can see that people think it is, is because they don't know how to use a dictionary and realize a word like "corporation" might have more than one meaning.
You are right in a way. If you consider yourself a US Citizen then it is not foreign to you. The 14th Amendment created a new type of citizen, that is a US Citizen, therefore D.C. would be the jurisdiction that you are under. Anyone that is not a US Citizen and is a state citizen or non-citizen national, DC would be considered foreign territory to them.
The fact that it is contiguous with the surrounding states could be argued that it is soil of the united States of America but it is in fact The United States of America and those two political bodies are foreign to one another.
It really gets into corporate versus common laws and which united states one is speaking about.
Check out Empire of the City. i think that is what it's called.
Yes, legally, constitutionally, the federal District (Columbia) is a territory of the USA.
The District is the legal territory of the USA, albeit currently illegally occupied (and likely has been for a long time) by subversive foreign entities.
