Bill > HJRes99

This resolution proposes a constitutional amendment that would modify the current process for admitting new states to the United States. Under the proposed amendment, the admission of a new state would require approval by a two-thirds majority vote in both the Senate and the House of Representatives, rather than the current simple majority requirement. The amendment would become part of the Constitution if ratified by three-fourths of the state legislatures, which is the standard procedure for constitutional amendments as outlined in Article V of the U.S. Constitution. By raising the threshold for state admission from a simple majority to a supermajority, the resolution aims to make the process of adding new states more difficult and require broader congressional consensus.
