23rd Amendment is not passed.

WI, the 23rd Amendment is not passed. Instead Washington is receeded to Maryland with a small National District for the White House, Capitol and Supreme Court. What butterflies would occur starting in '62?
 
Would the state of Maryland really want all the problems of1962 Washington?

Would the consent of Maryland actually be required? Jonathan Turley has argued that legally the answer is No:

"In my view, Congress can not only order retrocession, but can do it without the prior approval of Maryland--though I believe that this would be a bad policy decision. Although Congress did allow Virginia to vote to accept its land back, it is not clearly required to do so under the Constitution. The original land grant was ceded to Congress, which always had the right to retrocede it. Obviously, no one is suggesting such a step. As a constitutional matter, however, I do not see the barrier to retroceding the Maryland portion of the original federal enclave. As John Calhoun correctly noted in 1846: 'The act of Congress, it was true, established this as the permanent seat of Government; but they all knew that an act of Congress possessed no perpetuity of obligation. It was a simple resolution of the body, and could be at any time repealed." https://jonathanturley.org/2007/08/20/testimony-dc-vote-in-congress-senate-judiciary-committee/
 
This is actually an interesting question. Frankly, many Maryland Democrats might not mind having DC now. More votes to gerrymander and more votes to defeat Hogan. That said, I'd imagine that the area inside the district which constituted "Washington City" is what would stay federal, while Georgetown and the area that was "Washington County" inside DC would go to Maryland, perhaps as a jurisdiction called "Anacostia County" as there is a Washington County already, unless these areas were simply added to the existing Maryland counties around DC, Prince George's and Montgomery.
 
How would it work for the people living in the new, reduced federal district? Or for that matter, corporations or other legal entities? I don't think anyone would be able to have legal residence there aside from the president and their family, but what would be there status? What about for commercial businesses? What is the local government like for this new DC? For instance, if I commit a crime there, what is the court that tries me, and who is the jury? Obviously the Supreme Court doesn't have time for that. I guess Maryland assumes most all the functions of the "DC local government"? Sounds like you'd get a Supreme Court case over this.
