1. Why isn't it that simple? I was under the impression that statehood only required a simple act of congress.

Technically, Puerto Rico also has to write a state constitution first, though I'd expect statehood folks have a draft ready to go.

Reapportionment's gonna be wild if this happens. A lot of states are going to be annoyed at losing/not gaining as many seats as they hoped for.

I mean, Texas isn't going to mind getting 38 rather than 39, but Montana will definitely mind getting 1 rather than 2.
