North Dakota earned its star on the American flag on Nov. 2, 1889, becoming the 39th or 40th state as it was admitted to the union along with South Dakota — or maybe not.
Grand Forks resident John Rolczynski, 82, said he has discovered a flaw in North Dakota’s Constitution that he believes means the state is technically still a territory more than a century after its statehood was approved by Congress and authorized by the president.
He noticed the flaw on Jan. 31, 1995, and soon set out to notify judges, lawmakers and federal authorities, even sending a letter to President Bill Clinton, and said his concerns were largely ignored.

Lucky them if they can get out from under this government’s thumb.
Dear Lord,
If You should allow me to live into my eighties, please guide my thoughts and actions that I don’t waste the precious years You gave me in being an obnoxious pimple on the butt of society.
In Jesus’ precious name,
Amen.
Dont fight it, ND!
Become the Peurto Rico of the north, or just declare independence.
Now’s your chance, ND’ers !
Form your own Free Nation, separate from this 0bamanation while you still can !
Yeah, I am afraid that is all this amounts to, but if he is right they would not have to secede to avoid the abominations the Democrats have tossed on the rest of us .
I might even think of moving there if I can get enough fuel to keep me warm.
That means every vote the North Dakota Senators ever voted on is void!
If this is successful, then is the income tax valid?
We all know that the alleged creation of West Virginia was unconstitutional.
Moving to ND yesterday if that actually happens
Seeing as there is a big oil and natural gas boom going on in ND right now - that shouldn’t be a problem. Rename themselves to North Dakotastan and keep the oil royalties to themselves - all 675,000 of them or whatever. (Alaska on the Red River).
ND is one of the 3/4 of the states that ratified the 16th amendment. By all means, don’t fight this and we all win.
Do we get to keep the ICBM’s that we still have?
I was wondering the same thing. Maybe they can get a rebate on their past federal income tax paid...
So, if you were born before the final change to the state’s Constitution and acceptance into the Union, are you a Natural Born Citizen of the US or not?
Well, West Virginia is a special case since Virginia was in open rebellion against the United States at the time and depending on your point of view, was part of a foreign nation and was not subject to the Constitution of the United States. Under those circumstances, the Congress didn’t need the permission of some foreign nation’s legislature. It would be like checking in with England first before admitting Ohio.
The West Virginians said “Hey, we’re not associating with those people. If Virginia’s out, we’ll replace her.”
I meant invalid for all of us. They were one of the minimum number of ratifying states.
“It would be like checking in with England first before admitting Ohio.”
I’m all for expelling Ohio!
So that’s what my friend meant when he told me there was no such thing as ‘North Dakota’ in 1973. He was from South Dakota and when I mentioned North Dakota he simply replied, “There is no such place.” and would not elaborate. I have been puzzled ever since...............
