Various routes have been taken in the long history of the United States for colonies and territories to become a state. =Step 1:Normally, the area must muster local political support and petition the U.S. Congress for admittance to the Union. ==Step 2: The approval process is relatively straightforward. A bill, called an "enabling act," must gain a majority vote in both houses of the U.S. Congress, the House of Representatives and the Senate. ==Step 3:When approved, it is signed by the President. Normally there will be provisions in the bill spelling out any transitional measures that must be taken to become a state by either the petitioning entity or the U.S. government. =
