Greenland Annexation and Statehood Act
The Greenland Annexation and Statehood Act authorizes the President to pursue annexation of Greenland from Denmark through negotiations and prepare for its potential admission as a U.S. state. After annexation, the President must submit to Congress a report detailing necessary federal law changes to expedite Greenland's statehood. Greenland would need to adopt a constitution that Congress deems republican in form and conforming to the U.S. Constitution as a prerequisite for statehood. The bill establishes a procedural framework but does not mandate annexation or statehood.
