Interesting tidbit: No U.S. President has ever died under a flag with the same number of stars as the flag he was born under. So we’re about overdue for an addition or two… dare we dream 6? The Statehood vote does come up every few years in D.C. and Puerto Rico (I’m sure there are many in the Virgin Islands, Guam, Samoa, and Marianas who would welcome it as well). So its largely a matter of political will in those districts/territories…and of course, Congress allowing it. That would likely prove to the most difficult hurdle of all. Picture is a US flag with 51 stars (before anyone else says “there’s no room for another star!”)
<- current.
51 stars…works quite well, yes? ->
