contended by the Senators
who will oppose Secretary OF

ognize u new state without
reference to Congress; on the
contrary they freely concede
him that right. They claim.
however, that a joint resolu-

comes a law. whether by Or

adopted by a two-thTds vote
over the Presidents veto, is
inst as binding upon t h e

In other words, that while
the President may exercise
his discretion as to recOgni-

power of two-thil ds of Con-
