Best Answer

The Kingdom of Hawaii was purported to have been annexed to the United States of America on January 17th 1898 by an act of the American Congress, known as the Newlands Resolution. Acts of congress are limited and do not extend past Territorial Boundaries to other sovereign nation states, hence making Hawaii's alleged annexation questionable.
