congress
article iv also grants to congress the authority to admit new states into the union. since the establishment of the united states in 1776, the number of states has expanded from the original 13 to 50. each new state has been admitted on an equal footing with the existing states. it also forbids the creation of new states from parts of existing states without the consent of both the affected states and congress. this caveat was designed to give eastern states that still had western land claims (including georgia, north carolina, and virginia), to have a veto over whether their western counties could become states, and has served this same function since, whenever a proposal to partition an existing state or states in order that a region within might either join another state or to create a new state has come before congress.

credit unions may typically be chartered to serve a specific employee or associational group or groups (often called a select employee group or "seg charter"), all members of a trade, industry, or profession (a "tip charter"), or have a "community charter" (typically a field of membership of anyone who lives, works, goes to school, or attends religious services in a particular city, county, or counties). when a credit union converts to a community charter from a seg charter or tip charter, it can continue to serve its existing members as well as anyone who lives, works, worships, or attends school within its new geographical field of membership, but cannot admit new members from its former seg(s) or tip (unless the group in question is located within "the new community credit union's boundaries"). similarly, a credit union that converts to a tip or seg charter from a different charter type can no longer admit new members from its old field of membership.
