Political Factoid

During the 1967-68 Pennsylvania
Constitutional Convention, it was
discovered that Pennsylvania had
never formally approved* joining
the union
... and thus Pennsylvania
actually became the 50th
state
to join the union.
* Just like when the U.S. Senate fails
to approve a treaty signed by the
U.S. President.
 
cf. The 50th State
