What I'm saying is that Congress does more than admit states, it creates them. Alabama did not exist before the other states allowed it to through a vote in Congress. Ohio was just a figment of the people's imagination until Congress admitted it as a state. Since states are created by Congress....

If it didn't exist, how was it admitted?

Now you are really getting twisted. There were 13 original states. All others DID NOT exist until Congress organized them into territories then admitted them on petition of their inhabitants.

Pursue your chain of thought much further and you will be approaching stand territory.

The same process that created it in the first place.
