From the February 14, 2023, KTAR News "Five things to know about Arizona as it celebrates 111 years of statehood."
1. IF AT FIRST YOU DON'T SUCCEED:
In 1911, President William Howard Taft vetoed Arizona's admission to the Union citing that the territory's constitution allowed the recall of judges The voters pulled the provision and Taft signed the bill to allow the state in.
And, then, in the next voting, the people voted 5 to 1 to reinstate the provision.
2. THE USS ARIZONA
I wrote about this ship in my Tattooed On Your Soul: World War II blog.
The ship was ordered a little over a year after its namesake state joined the Union.
