This legislative proposal grants the President explicit authority to pursue the annexation or acquisition of Greenland. The President is empowered to initiate negotiations with the Kingdom of Denmark to incorporate Greenland as a territory of the United States. Following the successful annexation or acquisition, the bill mandates that the President submit a comprehensive report to Congress. This report will outline necessary adjustments to federal law to facilitate Greenland's admission as a state, thereby expediting congressional approval. Statehood would be contingent upon Greenland adopting a constitution that Congress deems republican in form and consistent with the U.S. Constitution.
