Wow impressive logic......You might want to study the Ohio problem. I think their are several volumes regarding that border dispute. It was admitted in 1952. That is fully documented. It is not a problem for me that you don’t want to know.

You would be surprised how many folks think Ohio has been a state for more than 58 years...

I know enough to know that the Constitution doesn't lay out much detail on the process of admission of a state. Certain formalities that were instituted during the process of admitting later states weren't followed, while others were. Clearly, though, since Congress passed an act authorizing the people of Ohio to form a government, and that that "the said State, when formed, shall be admitted into the Union upon the same footing with the original states in all regards whatever," it seems pretty clear what the intent of Congress was. The people of Ohio did form a state government, and in 1803, that state's representatives were seated in Congress.
