(Colorado’s entry as the thirty-eighth state was a bit irregular. President Grant proclaimed statehood on August 1, 1876, after a plebiscite of the citizens gave its approval on July 1 of that year. Several members of Congress protested that only the Congress has the power to admit new states and to approve their constitutions. However, in the end, Grant’s actions sufficed.)
