Secondly, why would Congress need to get involved?


The Constitution. States combining, splitting, etc. requires approval of the state legislatures involved as well as U.S. Congress.

It would be a matter for the states involved, obviously.

Where does the federal government have any say? I’m sure any new states requires ratification or whatever.

Besides, it’s CalvinBall all the way down anyway. Why does everyone insist on dotting all the i’s and crossing all the t’s at this point? Why should I care 12 states over what they do in Oregon anyway? Let them decide.
