Because I saw a friend of mine post on FaceBook Puerto Rico, which is already a US territory, has opted to change its status to the 51st state of America. This awaits approval from Congress, but if they approve, the USA will have 51 states.
Thoughts?
I for one hate the odd look to the number. It's just a me thing lol. Other than that I don't think it would change much. Except we'll be learning about 51 states in school, and have one more place be able to vote. Also, we'd be in need for a new flag.
As with other bills, it would have to pass both the House and the Senate, and be signed by the President of the United States, or, if vetoed, be overridden by 2/3 of each of the House and Senate to become law.
