Washington DC is a wonderful place to visit, but 5 hours is far too little.
Here's what I would do:
Start at the US Capitol, walk through Air & Space museum quickly (well I like science, that's why I chose this museum, but you may choose any other Smithsonians), make your way to the White House (you can gaze from outside), cross over to Jefferson Memorial via the Monument and WWII Memorial, visit Holocaust museum (it is quite something, I tell ya), walk by the reflecting pool while thinking of Dr. King's "I have a Dream" speech, Korean War Memorial, Lincoln Memorial, then Vietnam Memorial.
By now your 5 hours should be up and you probably would be thoroughly pooped with all that walking. If not, you can move on to Georgetown area and enjoy some fine dining/shopping.
