What if the US moved its Capitol

The only way I can see the US capital moving is to have a CSA wins TL. Then the US almost has to move it's capital. DC is right on the border of Maryland and Virginia. It could get very uncomfortable if your capital were situated on the border of a foreign country. Otherwise I don't see the capital moving short of its destruction. If your goal is simply to have a US capital that is not DC, the best bet would be to stop it from being located there in the first place.

I still think it'd be kind of cool to have Philadelphia be capital, myself.
 
Imagine if the Capital were moved to New York City.

Instead of the mall being lined with museums and administrative buildings, it would be lined with skyscrapers.

That would actually be kinda neat to behold.
 
i made a AH about Denver D.C. (largely ignored in this forum )

were in WW3 destroy Washington D.C (by Nuke)
St Louis became new Capitol by Survivors of Congress and Senat.
until new President Robert A. Heinlein (yes the SF Autor)

make Denver to New Capital of New USA

why ?
1.
Denver lies central in N.U.S so no Sneak attack by Subs
it take longer for SLBM to reach, so a (Little) chance for BMD
2.
Denver is Ideal for Deep Bunker in case of Nucklear War
near Rocky Mountains and NORAD (who expanded to new Pentagon)
3.
Heinlein lived in Colorado since 1955.
