Premise is incorrect. Part of Virginia and part of Maryland were taken to form the District so the seat of government wouldn't be inside any one state. So DC is in America. Just look at a map.
Also, if it was foreign soil, wouldn't you need a passport to go there? Obviously not, as I've been there numerous times, and I don't own a passport. Of course I went with my family to Canada years ago, and none of us had passports.
Point of note: you need no passports in Europe to travel one country to another in majority of countries; e.g. I can travel from Germany to Italy on the autobahn with no passport.
The same is why you need no passport to travel the US across state lines. Needing to go specifically into DC with a passport would raise too many red flags with normies, blowing the ruse.
But it is, indeed, considered a separate entity with its own laws and constitution apart from the rest of the US.
I've never drawn a parallel between those two things, as I've always thought of the commerce clause as limiting freedoms, whereas I've thought of the Schengen Zone as guaranteeing them. Interested to hear how they're the same thing with a different name.
My guess is you mean that the commerce clause prevents states from prohibiting travel between states?

It's because of the Schengen zone. Countries in the EU agreed to requiring no passports between them.
Yes, and here in the US, it's called The Interstate Commerce Clause
Same thing, different name.
