Federal offices tied to the seat of government must operate in the District of Columbia. They cannot operate anywhere else. The only exception is when another law expressly says otherwise.

Every federal office that is attached to the seat of government must be run in the District of Columbia. It cannot be run anywhere else — unless some other law expressly allows that.
