a better question would be what power was Taft using to Veto this act ?? the nominal reason related to how judges were to be picked, but the President does not have any authority in the area of the admission of NEW STATES (Article IV, Section 3) and Congress cannot delegate this authority. If, however, Arizona & New Mexico were being admitted as PROVISIONAL 'states' , with the united States being in one or another state of "emergency", then the President, Acting as Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces, might have a say (but note the language of IV-3, which states that "Congress shall have the power to admit New States into THISunion." -- now just what type of entity is being admitted, and into what entity ?? see also the Congressional enabling Act of Feb. 22, 1889 (since often amended !) for Montana, Washington, and the Dakotas and tell me how these 'states' were admitted on equal terms with the original States ! Good luck ....
