North Dakota Just Found Out That It’s Not Actually a State

82-year-old John Rolczynski lives in Grand Forks, North Dakota.  For some reason, he was reading through the state constitution. And he found a pretty big twist:  Based on how it's worded, North Dakota ISN'T ACTUALLY A STATE.

--To be recognized as a state by the federal government, the constitution has to specifically establish that the state has a governor. North Dakota's constitution doesn't do that.  It never mentions a governor.

--That puts the state constitution in conflict with the U.S. Constitution.  Technically, that makes it invalid.  Without a state constitution, it's not a state.  So really, North Dakota has just been a TERRITORY all this time.

--Of course, this is all a technicality.  And it's not like all the flags are going to get redone with 49 stars or anything like that. But we may be adding a star soon if some politicians in California get their way.

--Now that North Dakota has found out about the problem with their constitution, they're working to change it to make sure they're OFFICIALLY a state.
