Who makes all laws and governs the capital?

In the United States, Congress is responsible for making Federal Laws, while the President oversees the executive branch of the government. The governance of Washington, D.C., the capital, is unique; it is subject to federal oversight, with Congress having the authority to legislate for the district. Local governance is managed by the Mayor and the Council of the District of Columbia, who handle local laws and regulations. However, Congress can intervene in local matters, which distinguishes D.C. from other states.
