There are some formulaic errors in the admission of Ohio to the union. They were retroactively settled in 1953 by Congress, but Congress cannot pass an ex post facto law - that is, a law which applies before it is ratified. As a result, Ohio never legally became a state. This has many problems associated with it, including rendering 7 separate presidencies illegal.
