http://newsfeed.time.com/2011/07/14/bec ... ?hpt=hp_t2 Quote: A constitutional error recently discovered shows that North Dakota has never technically fit the requirements for statehood.
John Rolczynski, an 82-year old Grand Forks resident, discovered the error in 1995 and has been been campaigning to fix North Dakota's constitution ever since. The problem lies in the state constitution's omission in requiring the governor and other top officials to take an oath of office. In failing to require these oaths, North Dakota's constitution is at odds with federal requirements established by Article VI of the U.S. Constitution, therefore making statehood illegitimate.

LOL. As someone who grew up in ND, that's hilarious. Tho, I wouldn't mess with ND too much. It may have changed some, but back when I was living there, if ND was it's own country (as apparently it is) it would have been the 3rd largest nuclear power in the world. There are a crap-ton of missle silos out there in the nothingness. |

There's B-52s too, but unfortunately for ND, it doesn't control either of them. There's also a hell of a lot less missile silos than there used to be. |

I still have humorous memories of watching Wargames the movie when it came out in the theatres. For all that there was such a nuclear presence (and communication presence) the locals didn't realize how much of a target Grand Forks was (is?). There was a huge gasp of shock when the movie mentioned that Grand Forks was going to be one of the first places hit in the retaliation. |

I have a feeling that they will backdate ND's acceptance into the union. |

I don't think it's the acceptance date that's the issue. It's the fact that ND hasn't been following the rules required to be a state (swearing in their Governor).... |

Cool maybe they can use this to opt out of any federal policy they don't like? |

Someone should challenge, but you'd have to find an injured party. that seems difficult lately. |

Yeah the idea of "standing" seems to be hard to attain when dealing with government. |

Obama overheard saying..."So I only visted 56 states?" "You guys need to get a handle on things, I could have come off sounding stupid!" |
