Proposing an amendment to the Constitution of the United States to require the concurrence of two-thirds of both Houses of Congress for the admission of new States into the Union.

This joint resolution proposes an amendment to the Constitution of the United States. The amendment would require the concurrence of two-thirds of both the House of Representatives and the Senate for the admission of new States into the Union. It also stipulates that no new State can be formed within the jurisdiction of another State without the consent of the legislatures of those states and Congress. Furthermore, no State can be formed by joining two or more existing States or parts of States without that same consent. This article would only become operative if ratified by the legislatures of three-fourths of the States within seven years of its submission.
