New States may be admitted by the Congress into this Union; but no new State shall be formed or erected within the Jurisdiction of any other State; nor any State be formed by the Junction of two or more States, or Parts of States, without the Consent of the Legislatures of the States concerned as well as of the Congress.Hmmm...no mention of the President at all.
Question: is any U.S. president famous for being in office when a new state was admitted? We all know Jefferson and the Louisiana Purchase. But I grew up in Tyler, Texas, in a town where the oldest high school was named John Tyler. And when I finally looked into it, I found out Tyler championed Texas’s entry into the Union. Because he wanted another slave holding state.
The Civil War wasn’t ab initio at Fort Sumter. And it was just two decades later that Texas seceded from the Union.
But except for the time of succession, none of that is common knowledge.
