<p>[QUOTE="Conder101, post: 93093, member: 66"]Interesting, I didn't know that! Nevada probably is illegal as well. Normally a territory has to have a population of 25,000 before it can apply for Statehood, but the republicans wanted to hurry an get NV in as a new state before the upcoming election so they rushed the statehood bill for NV through even though the area only had 21,000 people.</p><p><br /></p><p>They can still solve the WV problem. The Constitution does allow for the creation of a state from the territory of another state if that state approves of the creation of the new state. (Frankly KY used to be part of the state of VA as well. I wonder if they got VA approval for it becoming a state? Maybe they didn't have to since KY isn't a state, it's a Commonwealth.)</p><p><br /></p><p>Since OH isn't actually a state, can we void all the bills signed into law that were signed by Presidents that were born in OH? The Constitution says that to be President you have to be a natural born citizen of the United States. Does being born in a territory owned by the US but not a state count?[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
