    Be it enacted by the Senate and House of Representatives of the

SECTION 1. SHORT TITLE.

    This Act may be cited as the ``Greenland Annexation and Statehood 
Act''.

SEC. 2. AUTHORIZATION FOR THE ANNEXATION OF GREENLAND.

    The President is authorized to take such steps as may be necessary, 
including by seeking to enter into negotiations with the Kingdom of 
Denmark, to annex or otherwise acquire Greenland as a territory of the 
United States. Upon completion of such annexation or acquisition, the 
President shall submit to Congress a report consisting of such changes 
to Federal law as the President may determine necessary to admit the 
newly acquired territory as a State, in order to expedite congressional 
approval of such statehood for Greenland after the adoption of a 
constitution that Congress determines to be republican in form and in 
conformity with the Constitution of the United States.
