I wonder what laws were signed by President Arthur. Were any states admitted to the Union during his term? Maybe they will try to invalidate that admission . . .

Decided to join you in your world... ;o)
You made me curious so I had to check.
No states entered into the Union from 1881 to 1885.
Colorado (#38) was in 1876.
North Dakota (#39) was in 1889.
As for laws, wiki has a decent summary.

FYI, no states were admitted to the Union during Arthur's time in office (less than a term, since he became president following the assassination death of Garfield). The first federal civil service law was passed and signed.
Arthur's administration (surprisingly, considering his somewhat shady reputation upon entering office) was considered by historians to be well run - no big scandals, no wars of consequence, no major economic crises.

President Arthur. Were any states admitted to the Union during his term? No.
