The Third Amendment states:

No Soldier shall, in time of peace be quartered in any house, without the consent of the Owner, nor in time of war, but in a manner to be prescribed by law

Since we've established that businesses are people, one would have to assume it must mean that, right?

If the hotel owner/board/etc wants them out then they'd probably win considering how far the courts have bent backwards to classify businesses as people

The British told the colonists they had to let the soldiers stay in their homes. It's directly related the the first 2 because these were the things Britain did that they were pissed about.

It was more than that, they had to provide food and drink and even transportation to their foreign oppressors.

Whine whine whine. All he and the admin do.

Soldiers and airmen in the National Guard called in from other states have been lodging at hotels and government facilities around D.C., a National Guard spokesperson told DCist, including at the Marriott Marquis hotel near the Washington Convention Center.

"It's common practice for service members who are called upon to support a domestic operations response mission to be quartered in local accommodations at a government rate," U.S. Army Master Sgt. W. Michael Houk previously told DCist via email. The government rate commercial lodging for D.C. is $256 dollars.

When National Guard troops are activated by their state governor and sent to another jurisdiction, the home state usually foots the bill, or arranges for reimbursement. When D.C. requested help for the COVID-19 response from the National Guard, it booked rooms at the Marriott Marquis for troops. But an administrative error caused the city to continue footing the bill when some of those Guardsmen were switched to protest duty.

Utah Sen. Mike Lee got wind of the issue and accused Bowser of "kicking the Utah National Guard out of all D.C. hotels," claiming that "more than 1200 troops from 10 states are being evicted." Though Bowser has expressed her clear frustration with the federal law enforcement in the city, the District has not evicted any troops from its hotels, nor does it have the authority to do so.

"Senator — until they are recalled home — which I have formally requested from the President, your troops are in D.C. hotels. However, D.C. residents cannot pay their hotel bills. The Army can clear that up with the hotel today, and we are willing to help," the mayor said in a tweet to Lee this morning.

Bowser later clarified to DCist that this is merely a billing problem. "We're not in a position to evict anyone from a private hotel. We've reached out to the senator from Utah to let him know that the department of the army I'm sure will work out any arrangements they need to work out with the hotel. This is about billing."

So there was a 2018 complilation album on the 27 Amendments called 27: The Most Perfect album with a song for each amendment from a variety of artists like Cherry Glazzer, Devendra Banhart, Dolly Parton, Palehound, Post-Animal, etc.

They Might Be Giants did an amusing song on the Third Amendment:
