That was the idea when DC was originally placed. It's irrelevant now, though. California congressman's jet lag isn't worth the hassle of moving...

The issue is bigger than relieving some congressional jetlag. It could impact the interests of the country's heartland, which are now largely ignored. If it was a valid argument 230 or so years ago, why then is the location of the capital unimportant now?
